Switched from Depo to Yaz!

I stopped the Depo shot 2 months ago, and immediately started Yaz, I got my period back at the end of my first pack of Yaz so about 1 1/2 months. How long does it take for Depo to completely leave your system, and if it's still in my system will it actually help protect me from pregnancy along with Yaz?

How are you liking Yaz? And why did you decide to switch?  I just started the depo shot after my baby was born about a month ago.  I HATE it. I have bled almost the whole time since I got it, and last night I had a huge blood clot pass.  I would much rather switch to something else.

The depo shot will lose its effectiveness 3 months after the last injection.
