    You could be pregnant that's why your serposed to have your shot on the 8th to refill the hormone that stops you from getting pregnant
    It can take from 3 months after your last shot to 18 months to get pregnant
    And yes your periods will be irregular for agood while but id check with a HPT anyway but go to your doctors or family planning clinic and get ablood test done just to make sure
    Was you planning to miss your shot and get pregnant? If not you should go and get the depo again and use acondom

    It can vary quite a bit from person to person. You may start regular cycles in a few months times, it may be over a year. Unfortunately depo is not usually the best choice for someone who wants to have a baby fairly soon after stopping its use.

    There is no way to know. Your periods could become regular again next month, or not for another several months. Depo is not the best birth control choice for someone planning to get pregnant soon after the last shot. For someone women it can take a year or more.
