Hi
Sometimes after taking depo provera it might take time for periods to resume. I would suggest waiting 2-3 days more for the period. Another thing that can be done is to taken norethisterone 3 times a day. Ifyou still don't get your period you should get blood tests done like FSH, LH, Prolactin.
Let me know if you have anu queries.
Thanks
