I had 2 injections and came off in Feb bc i felt like I was going crazy on it. I just actually 3 days ago got my period but it wasn't like a real period. It was really light and short. I know people that have been on it and had kids later on. I wouldn't worry too much. In general, I think this is a very effective birth control, yet the side effects that go with it, for me at least are just not worth the extra 2% peace of mind over the pill

As I've said in the past...the Depo shot is one of the worse birth controls out there. It can stay in your system for up to a year....meaning you might not have a period for that time frame. Some women bleed the whole time on it, while others have no bleeding. I would see your doctor just to be on the safe side though.
