Hello i had my first and last depo shot in june 2015 i did not get another since but i have had no period since then. would i still ovulate without a period.

You can still: ovulate, but without a bleed it is likely that you have ongoing hormonal cycle fluctuations despite the Depo provera (medroxyprogesterone) having "run out" 2 months ago. I would be careful with using alternative method of contraception right now if you do not wish to conceive. In the meantime, return to your GYN or family physician to find out whether you need another shot or oral contraceptive to reset your cycle.
