    Life after the Depo shot.
    I was on the depo shot for about nine months. I quick getting the shot simply because I wasn't sexually active. Its been 3 months since my due date for another shot. Still no sign of my period. Is this normal? :confused:

    It's very normal, and may take up to 6 months or longer before your period returns. Unfortunately Depo takes a long time to get out of your system, but it eventually does.

    Hey there,I was on the depo for about a yr. and a half,having gotten the last shot in the end of October of 2008.Just last week was when I got my period on July 31st 2009.I was expecting it to be a horrible heavy,painful period from all the horros stories I had read about,but surprisingly it was a normal period,a few cramps here and there the first day,but that's it.It even lasted fewer days than when I used to have it before the depo.Now I wonder how long it will take me to get pregnant :) I'm dying to have a baby! :p
