A member asked:

Does having regular periods after stopping depo-provera mean i'm definitely ovulating?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably so: It can take up to a year for menstrual cycles to become regular again after coming off of depotprovera. Once cycles are regular, this can be taken as a sign that regular ovulations have commenced.
