Yes, it could take some time for your periods to return to normal. However, it you had irregular period before Depo-Provera, then you may return to irregular periods after you stop. Also, if you have gained a lot of weight, you could have developed irregular periods. I suggest seeing your doctor, if you continue to not get your periods because they can check some hormone tests.
