A member asked:

Is it normal that i was suppose to start my period 6 or 7 days after the depo shot for the first time but my period never came?!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can be normal: If no flow with start of depo, and presume negative pregnancy test at start of shot. IF unsure, a repeat pregnancy test may help to reassure you.
