Doctor consult: You need to report to your doctor you have had no period. May need more hormonal manipulation . This would be the best treatment and the doctor can also examine you and make sure you are not pregnant. although unlikely.

Need to be regulated: In most cases, taking birth control pills for three months will get your periods back to normal. A woman may think this is counterproductive if she is wanting to get pregnant, but she is not going to get pregnant until she gets her body back to having normal menstrual cycles.

Can happen: It may be a while before periods normalize after stopping Depot, especially if you were on it for a year or longer. Make sure though that other causes of missed period including a pregnancy are ruled out
