Off Depo how long to get period

Hi, I'm 25 and I have posted one other time on this board. I was wondering how long it takes to get your period after you come off of depo? I have been off of it for almost a month and I have had no signs of a cycle. This is my second time using depo and the first time I came off of depo I had my period within 3 weeks. This time nothing. What should I expect? If its not the same as last time.

How long were you on it? I only had 3 shots and stopped because I didn't stop bleeding. Now I'm back on the pill and haven't had a period yet and I'm worrying how long it might take

I was suppose to get the shot the 1st of November but missed it...is it okay if I dont get my period right away.. I haven't taken a pregnancy test but I don't think Im pregnant.. should I be worried if I haven't gotten it its been two weeks since I went off it?
