A member asked:

Is my period back to normal? i been off depo-provera for 8 month and my period began just now in 24 days. i don't have nonstop bleeding anymore. am i off depo-provera

Maybe: Depot Provera (medroxyprogesterone) can take as long as 18 months to stop having affects on your cycles. It sounds like your cycles are returning. It may take several cycles to know if you are regular and back to normal.
