Finishing Depo & periods

I had 3 shots of depo, last one being August. I didn't renew my shot as I bleed for the whole time I was on it. When will I get my period back? My last bleed was November? 🤣 anyone else had this issue? I'm a bit worried it'll come and I have my smear next week and I've already put it off so much (baby is a year old) thank you x

I was on Depo for two years the first time, period took like six months to come back. Then I was on it for a month earlier last year and it took two to return, though it still hasn't regulated.

@Tosha that's mental! I've been getting period pains but nothing there. My next shot should have been November but I didn't go for it. Used to bleeding non stop, not not bleeding

My sister hormones never been the same since depo

@Brianna I had it as a teenager and then recently as I was BF it was the only one they let me have. But it didn't agree so came off of it

You're lucky you've had a period since coming off it. I had a period for 6 months straight without breaks, I had to go on the coil to regulate my cycle... it took me 6 years before I finally had my periods back on track. What they don't always tell you is that it is different for everyone and it can take anything from 6 months to 2 years for your body to get back on track. Mine took longer for other reasons 😞 I'm sorry i couldn't have been more help, I hope your periods sort themselves out soon. I had to resort to the coil because my body was showing no signs of sorting itself out any time soon I hope you have better luck x

@Pia wouldn't really say period, but when I was on it I didn't stop bleeding so super long. I didn't go to my next shot and it stopped in December. It was due November time. Yeah my period was non stop on it too! It's since not having the next shot it's stopped. When I had it as a teenager I didn't have periods whatsoever but got really chunky! So went on the implant but that made me bleed continuously too. I want them back as I'm back at work. I don't want to have an accident 🤣 At the moment I'm wearing panty liners 🤣 Thank you x
