Are Delayed Menstruation While On Depo-Provera Shots A Concern?

OK I have been on the depo. Shot for almost two years (will be two years in April or may) and since I have been on it I have gotten my period during the last month of the shot and it normally lasts anywhere from 2 weeks to a month. But it would only happen right before I got my next shot. I got my shot in September and I started my period about a week ago... I don t know if this is normal or if it is even a period. Please help me.
