    Hi Jamiah... welcome to AMHD!

    Not a doctor, but there are people here who can answer your question.

    It is not uncommon for some women to go several months, even a year or so, without periods, or with irregular periods, after the last depo injection. Some women will resume regular cycles not long afterwards, but many find it takes some time.

    Since you ovulate before a period, it would be wise to try a test every now and then because you could possibly become pregnant without seeing a period start back up.

    For the peace of mind, you could always see your doctor. It would be a good idea if you are trying to become pregnant, or planning to start trying before long.
