A member asked:

When on the depo-provera i had 1 period every 3 months. now that i've been off for 3 months and been taking prenatials i get my period twice every month?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

This is not unusual: It can take a number of months after coming off Depo-Provera to have a normal cycle. If it lasts more than 6 months, see your doctor.
