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 ?
