It's : It's usual to not menstruate when on depoprovera. If you're still worried about pregnancy you could do a home pregnancy test. If you're not more than a few weeks late for the shot pregnancy is unlikely. When you "go off" Depo-Provera the periods may be irregular or late for several more months.
