Response off depo: Response off Depo-Provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) varies from woman to woman. Resumption of bleeding is a sign that menstruation may start to re-occur. Restoration of fertility off Depo-Provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) can range from 6-18 months. Uterine lining is being sloughed off now that Depo-Provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) has stopped.

Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone): It is very common to have abnormal bleeding after taking Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone). It can take 6-12 months for normal ovulatory cycles to resume, especially if you were on Depo -Provera for a while. Please remember that even though your period is not regular, this doesn't mean you can't get pregnant.
