after stopping depo it usually takes 3 to 10 months to get your periods regularsied.and now about patch it is needed to use patch ones a week for three continous week and absetain in the fourth week to get period.so you are   not likely to get  your period yet.if you  continue to use patch in a four week cycle then you may get your period after end of fourth week. then you have continue to use patch cycles for at least 3 to 10 months.

I was on it years ago, and i NEVER had periods.  I can't remember why i got off it.  But i tried other things and eventually went back to Provera thinking I would have the same experience.  Unfortunately my second time on it, I had periods that lasted for 2 weeks... and a lot of break through bleeding in between!  I got off it again.  Now I'm on Seasonalle and I only have a period 4 times per year. I love it!!

Your body may be adjusting to being off of b.c. pills. Usually that would mean irregular bleeding and longer periods. Hope your are ready for motherhood because that sure is a big possibility with the sign and symptoms you have given.

This rarely happens but it does.  If you are only 22 and you took your last depo 5 years ago...then you were to young to be on the shot anyway.  I hate this for you.  Your reproductive system may wake back up...but it will take a long time.  But new technology comes out everyday.  Try to find a fertility specialist and see if there is a reverse shot.

This is actually quite normal. Some women won't get a period for several months after taking birth control. I wouldn't worry yet about amenorrehea. Your NORMAL! Stop thinking about it and your cycle will pick up again. Your body is tricked into thinking your pregnant when your on the pill and it takes a while for all the hormones to leave your body.

same thing happened to me, as soon as you stop taking the birth control for 5 days have a normal period. wait until it stops before taking the pills again. see a doctor if it doesnt work

Your period may become irregular after stopping the use of birth control. speak to your gyn about this though.

I was on depo before and there is a good reason why I am not anymore.\nI got alot of side effects: weight gain, facial blemishes, always feeling tired.\nThe only pro to it all is that you didn't get your period- frankly I'd rather get my period than have all that continue to happen.\nAlthough depo is one of the most effective birth controls out there for some people it's not for them.\nIf you have any doubts- go see a doctor.

Go to your gynecologist. Depo can really screw up your system - I know, I was on it. It can take upto a year to become regular again after being n Depo.

Sounds to me like, yes its from  the shot, however missed periods occur for many reasons.  Your age, your weight, activity, sex, and medical reasons all play a part in missed periods.  I think it best to consult your doctor, and check on the side effects of the shot you took.  Best of Luck to you!!

Everybody's body is different. I start spotting/period a few weeks before it's time for my shot and within a few days of the shot it stops.  The weight thing, it took them a while to put weight on me I didn't gain right away.  I think I weighed in around 112 and I finally reached 120 in about 1 1/2 now I down to 117 usually.  I did bleed once non stop for about a week it was really scary but that hasn't happened in a while (knock on wood).  Good luck and take care of yourself.

OMG I hate that shot!  Made me gain some pounds and it took me 5 months to have my period after I stopped the shot.

I would talk to a doctor, he may have something that he can give you to regulate you.\nYou should only be having a period approximately every 28 days.

i have spot bleeding before and after my periods after three pelvic exams two pap tests and an ultra sound yes they did tell me it was normal.i got off the pill this pasy tear and went with an iud implant and i also have been going through other changes as well.to me it sounds hormonal like your body is just trying to adjust itself to regulate your cycle again

I take it you are not on "the shot" or you would have disclosed that.  Sometimes (with many women) it ceases menstruation.  \n\nThe other folks gave some pretty good answers, though I do not consider it a blessing when I am missing a period.  This is a woman's only indication that her body is working properly and on schedule (providing she has all working reproductive organs), so you are right to be concerned.  \n\nTry relaxing...get some rest, and make sure you are not skipping meals.  Also make sure that your pelvic exam is current.  I would not advise anyone to go without a "pap" for more than a year.  The doctor can tell a lot with this particular exam, but you are probably already aware of this.\n\nGood luck!
