A member asked:

Is it possible to become pregnant 5 months off depo? not normal periods yet and irregular. .is it safe to become pregnant now with not normal flow?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes and yes.: Although many women do not ovulate within 5 months of the last Depo, it is possible that you may be even though menses are irregular. If your general health is good and you would welcome a baby, it is safe to get pregnant at this time.

I started using depo Provera 150mg in June 2019 until September 2019. I've stopped since then but I haven't had my period until now not even spotting. I've done numerous home pregnancy tests and are all negative. Is this normal or should I be worried?
