Hi,
Thank you for choosing Healthcaremagic. All your symptoms are side effects of depo injestion. It will take some time for regularizing the periods. You need to get a scan pelvis to know the endometrial thickness, if that is normal then you can be given cyclical OC pills for regularizing the periods.
Please ask if you have more questions. If you are satisfied, please make sure that your ACCEPT my answer so that I receive credit. Good luck!!
