It may vary: If you stopped getting your injections of Dopo-Provera, 150 mg every 3 months, a return to your "normal cycles" may be quite variable, reportedly between 3 to 12 months usually (rarely longer) depending on how long remaining levels of the hormone continue to block your ovulation and on several other factors like your age, personal health issues, body weight, BMI, duration of use...
