A member asked:

I had 1 depo-provera shot in feb, then went on pill in may. now second pill free week and not had period yet. why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

This is not unusual…: The DepoProvera (DPMA) is still in the body and will be for quite some time. Some women have such light bleeding while on certain oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) that their bleeding is undetectable. If one compounds that with the DPMA, then it would be normal to not seeing bleeding. However, if pregnancy symptoms occur, a pregnancy should be done.
