Hi.
It means that the hormonal fluctuations caused by the depo shot and then by missing the next one has resulted in a slight irregularity in your menstrual cycle. If pregnancy has been accurately ruled out then I would request you to visit your doctor who can help to first stimulate your period and help it return to normal or close to normal (if you want a period and do not wish to continue with the depo shot).
Best wishes.
