Depo Delays: The Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) injection is expected to last only 3 months, but it's not uncommon for some people to have a bit more left in their system which if you're getting it every three months for a year might lead to some buildup of hormone that leads to a more potent effect, which in your case manifests as a delay in periods or even sometimes the skipping of periods altogether.
