A member asked:

When you get your period after stopping depo-provera will the period like it was before you got on depo?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Eventually: It can take awhile to start having periods again after Depo and then they can be irregular for awhile but eventually they should be back to what they were like before you started the Depo unless something else has changed.
