Hello
Thank you for your query.
Periods are generally irregular after childbirth and normalize within 3 - 6 months.
However, the Depo provera shots will further cause irregular cycles.
Within the first month of any kind of contraceptive use, particularly hormonal contraception, a backup method like condom is recommended.
As you are overdue, take a urine pregnancy test to confirm.
Take care.
