Probably: You can start ovulating within 2 weeks of stopping Depo-Provera provera, (medroxyprogesterone) but some women do have no period after stopping it, which has no baring on ovulation.

Sure...: I think there is every reason to assume so. Good luck.

Yes: It does take several months for your cycle to return after depo-provera. Now that you has a period, you likely have already started ovulating. You can expect your cycles to return to their previous pattern, prior to using the depo-provera.

Yes: You should be ovulating now. It is not unusual to take that long to start ovulating after depo.
