Does Depo Shot Make You Miss Your Period?

My period has always been irregular but I always got it every month. This month I haven’t gotten. Now, being pregnant jumped into my mind immediately. But, the only thing making me hesitant is that I got a depo shot in February. I haven’t gotten one since, but could that be affecting why I didn’t get my period this month? I’ve had my period every month since.

Hello,

Slight menstrual irregularities can happen with hormonal drugs including depo shot. If you are persistently experiencing irregular periods, you can consult a gynaecologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
