Because you COULD get pregnant after 3 months and 1 day.

I got pregnant 2 weeks after stopping the depo and switching to the pill. Everyone is different. I know of women who have been off the shot for years and still havent gotten pregnant.

When you get your period for two months at a time can you be pregnant. Like u Skip one month and it like every two months u get it what does it mean?

You need to see a doctor to correct this. It means you only ovulate every 2 months instead of every month so the chance of pregnancy is lower. At the same time you have no idea when you ovulate in case you were tying to get pregnant. Some women have weird periods but the doctors can help. And I can't tell if you could be pregnant.
