Pregnant?: If you're sexually active, you'll have to rule out pregnancy. Purchase and perform a home pregnancy test. They turn positive at about the time you're one week late.

Time : The first period after depoprovera is often irregular and strange. Cycles usually go back to normal but it may take some time.
