A member asked:

I have been off depo-provera for a while..was just wondering if spotting would be when my period would have been starting?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depo-Provera: You can spot up to a year after the last Depo-Provera . Most people will resume their regular cycles before that but any varation is possible.
