See below : Hi there, If this was not normal for you prior to the pills it’s not normal now , that’s a big difference of days. You should go see your obgyn whenever possible for you, please .

Yes: On Depo, you can lose your period altogether, so it is not at all unusual for you to be late. You may not have periods at all while on the Depo.
