I was on the depo-provera shot for a year. i've been off of it now for about 8 months. the first 4 months i bleed constantly. now nothing. what is going on?

You aren't ovulating: Depo has an extended time after you stop it before you start ovulating again and it is irregular when you do first start. This means a delay of return to fertility but fertility can return before periods get regular again. If your periods were irregular before using depo, you can expect then to stay irregular.
