Hi,
Thanks for the query on Health care magic platform.
I understand your concern.
Depo provera is a long acting injectable contraceptive.. & is known to produce menstrual irregularities/ absence of periods while it avoids conception.It is also known to take 6- 18 months for normalizing menstrual cycle after withdrawal of the injection.
I would advise you to get investigated to exclude other causes for amenorrhea ( USG abdomen- for PCOD/ Ovarian cyst, uterine fibroid ) & if every thing is normal wait patiently for few more months for periods to return.
Thanks,
I find this answer helpful
