What Causes Stomach Cramps Post Expiring Of Depo Shot?
I believe my Depo Shot had expired a month ago, but I still have not had any signs of bleeding. I did experience what I thought were cramps, though, around the normal time of when I used to get my periods. Is it normal to not start the period again for a month or 2 after the shot has expired ?

hi
welcome to HCM
the is no fixed time on when periods start after expiry of depo ,it may take 3 to 6 months for regular cycles so advised to use other options to avoid pregnancy ,and yes the pain is due to menstural cramps .
you can take meftalspas bd for the pain
take care
