I was on the depo shot for 9 months. switched to the pill, and just finished my 1st pack(0.5/35)when will my period come back? haven't bled for months

Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Depends: Typically one has a period at the end of each birth control pack. This may not occur since Depoprovera may still be in your system to some degree. This is ok and not a cause for concern
