Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern.

please get a physical exam including a speculum exam done via your gynecologist to rule out any local erosions , lesions etc , an ultrasound abdomen and pelvis and vaginal swab for culture should also be done. irregular periods may be a result of the alteration as a result of the discontinued depot shot. please do a home pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy. your meds may be changed to oral contraceptive pills course to regularize your menses in consultation with your doctor


wishing you best of health

Thanks
