    Cycle after Depo

    I took Depo injections from may '09 to oct '10. My next shot was due in Jan and I decided I wanted go off it. I expected it to take some time to get back on a regular cycle like I was before. However, last month I had pms and a normal cycle. But this month...nothing. Is that anything anyone has ever experienced or should I be concerned....?

    BC hormones really mess with your cycle, even months after you've come off of it. I was on Depo years ago, and when I came off it I still didn't get a period for 6 months after that. Your body probably just needs more time to normalize, but it never hurts to talk to your doc if you have concerns.

      I used Depo as a form of BC for almost two years and my periods were normal before I started, sometimes irregular, but otherwise normal. After I stopped taking it though I had very, very light periods and really bad cramps that I never experienced before. I also had more irregular periods than before, sometimes it would be two months until my next period. I think your body takes a while to readjust to the fluctuation of your hormones, I wouldn't worry too much about it, give your body time to get back into it's natural cycle.
