HI.

The symptoms you are presenting with could also appear due to a hormonal imbalance that can occur after getting off the depo shot. This can occur in women until 6 months after getting off the shot, and can present with symptoms like inter-menstrual bleeding, spotting, weight gain, menstrual irregularities, etc.

Although pregnancy should be adequately ruled out, especially if you are experiencing a delay in your period, visit a doctor for an ultrasound by the 6th week from your LMP, and confirm/rule out pregnancy.

Best wishes.
