I've been on depo-provera for about 2 months. i have not had a period since jan. on any other birth control i would have had a period by now.

This is not : Surprising. Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) is a high dose of Progesterone that prevents your body from ovulating therefore you wont have a period. There is no "pill free" week like with birth control pills. You may have some breakthrough bleeding but many patients will not.
