When I stopped Depo, I used condoms for about 2 months just to be sure the hormones had completely washed out of my system.
Don't be surprised if it takes a few months for your cycyle to get back to "normal" for you.

I stopped the shot long ago. I had Norplant removed in 1997, took two shots, Had a baby July 1999. have not menustrated since Oct. 1998. Started the shot again in 2004. stopped in May 2005 and still have not started ovulating yet. It is now July 2006. My doctor says there is nothing wrong. Depends on the person.
p.s. been going to this doctor for years.

When i stopped taking the birth control shot (depo) i got my period back the next month and i got pregnant a year later.
That's why after the last shot of Depo-Provera it can take up to nine to 12 months for all the hormones to get out of the body. Only when the Depo-Provera stops sending the hormones can your body regain control and start ovulating again on its own. That's why Depo-Provera is not a perfect contraceptive for women who are considering getting pregnant soon.
Good luck

You should begin ovulating normally within a month or two, so start using a different form of birth control immediately.
