well i'm 17 about to be 18, i got the depo shot on October 4th 2013 and i'm not due back until January 4th 2014. i hadn't gotten my period 2 months before i started the shot, so they put me on that hormone pill to start my period and then when i started i would get the shot the same day, well i got my period and the shot like i said October 4th 2013 and literally this is my 2nd month to the day and i am still on my period. should i be worried? and what should i do?

I got the shot about two days after having my baby. March 18.. Was not late on any shots had irregular periods and spotting until August now I have no periods could I b pregnant again?? I was suppose to get another asst the end of September but I didn't go but I still haven't had a period.. Why is that?? I do sometimes have this butterfly feeling in my stomach but I thought that may b because from the nervousness of being pregnant again. Can somebody tell me something please?
