Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Sometimes after depo is discontinued, it can take some time for the menstrual cycle to restart.
If you are currently sexually active, however and not presently on any other type of contraception then you may want exclude pregnancy by doing a home pregnancy test.
In addition, the hypothyroidism, if not controlled can also affect the period.
Your doctor may also want to check these levels if the pregnancy test is negative.
I hope this helps
