My last depo-provera shot was due october 1st. i didn't get it. can you ovulate that soon after a missed depo-provera shot? do you need a period to ovulate?

Yes: you can ovulate after you stop Depo-Provera shot any time. The period just a sign of you going thrue the cycle. Ovulation happens before period. Do pregnancy test when in doubt .

You can: You can ovulate before you ever have a period and yes you can ovulate that soon after stopping DepoProvera but ovulation is often delayed after Depo especially if you have been on it for awhile. Hope this helps

Unlikely: The Depo-Provera shot still takes some time to leave the body. It usually takes several months before ovulation occurs. There is a slight chance that ovulation could start already, but on 5- 15% at best
