A member asked:
Is it normal to not have your period after stopping depo-provera been off of it for a month?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, quite normal: Many women take several months to resume normal periods after stopping depo. Be careful, though. Just because you haven't had a period does not mean you can't become pregnant. Always have an active form of birth control to prevent undesired pregnancy. If you haven't had a period and it is greater than 6 months from stopping depo, go see your gynecologist to discuss.
