I took a depo shot for the first time in february this year and did not continue with the contraceptive but my periods have not come back as yet, is that normal? and when should i start getting worried?

Depo: Although some people can have a delay of even up to 1 year for menstruation to return but generally the wait time is short when depo was not taken for long. Be careful about surprise pregnancy also at this time. Ovulation may return anytime. If you experience any pregnancy symptoms then take a home pregnancy test.
