Hi. I was on the depo injections for quite a while. I never had a period when i was on them which was good but they made me bloat up and feel quite low and depressed so i stopped them. It took a while for my cycle to return to normal. The light period you had was more than likely not a real period, just your body expelling any build up of womb lining. You could be pregnant but i would think unlikely since you've been using condoms. As with any hormonal contraceptive it does take a while for your cycle to return to normal but the cost of a pregnancy test is a small price to pay for peace of mind. Merry xmas and a happy new year x

its totally normal dont panic your body has to adjust if you miss more than one then get a test good luck

It can take up to a year before your body gets back to normal.
Don't worry. Your doctor should have told you this.

Yes it's normal Hun. It took months for my period to get back to normal after I came off Depo. I cam off it last December and my periods only returned to 'normal' in september. Some months I'd have no period-Frustrating as were trying for baby number 3. Other months I'd have 2!

Do the test to put your mind at ease but it probably is the Depo :)
