Depo messes with your system and usually stops your period. It is possible that you are pregnant, as you have "missed" your period take a test. Good luck,

depo is like the worse form of birth control to go on. I had my first shot in november of 2003, and my second shot in february of 2004. I was told that it takes depo at least 12 months to 18 months to be out of you rbody before you can get pregnant. I was pregnant by april of 2004 and I miscarried that baby. Got pregnant again in october 2004 with a twin and I miscarried those too. My ob/gyn thinks that it was becuz the depo was so present in my body.
I think that it just works different for differnt ppl. But my ob/gyn has advice me not to take it anymore and so I don't.
