A member asked:

I've been on depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) for about 2 years. i haven't had a period for 6 months and today i got one. is that normal on depo?

Maybe: My quick answer is maybe because Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) can cause many side effects, among the most common is irregular cycles when stopping the medicine. Would consult with your gyn or pcp for further guidance.
