    i want to go on another birth control but want my body to have a normal cycle before i do because i was on the coil
    for 4 years then had depo the same day the coil was removed and want to a normal period just for a few months .. i didnt think id say this but i want a normal period haha

    I've known people who started the month after they quit depo, and others who didn't have a period for up to 6 months after. A friend, who was on it for 10 years, was periodless for 6+ months after going off the shot. It sounds like your body is readjusting. Give it some time.

      Since you only had one shot it probably won't be long. Probably a couple months or less. It is possible though to not have a period for many months to even a year when you come off hormonal birth control of any kind but it's less likely when you haven't taken it long.
