I am off the depo-provera birth control shot, and i still haven't gotten my period. why is that?

Delay is not rare: It is not rare to have a delay in the return of your periods after taking the repo birth control shot. If you do not want to be pregnant, you should still use birth control, as the return of your periods and fertility can come at any time. If you are trying to get pregnant, talk with your doctor. There is no permanent effect on fertility, but there can be a delay while your ovaries "wake up".
