Due early oct for depo, didn't get it it's now late jan&still no period a lot of unprotected sex now white creamy&brown discharge w/light cramps?!

Check for pregnancy: Since your last Depo-Provera was due in october you are no longer protected against pregnancy. With unprotected intercourse and an abnormal discharge see your doctor to make sure you're not pregnant and that you do not have an infection. If you do not want to be pregnant use of alternative birth control method. It can take up to 3 months after Depo-Provera before you get your regular cycles again.
