What if I am 2 months late on shot that I have been on for a year and I haven't started my period?

Answer 1

If you are talking about the Depo Provera contraceptive (birth control) injection that you get every three months, it is not unusual for it to take several months, even up to a year or more, for your period to return after stopping the shot. However, once you are due for the shot, you MUST start using some form of birth control because, even though you may not have started your period again, you can still get pregnant.

It sounds like you need to do a few things. If you have been sexually active since the time you were due for the shot, then you need to confirm that you are not pregnant. If you want to go back on the shot, or any other form of Birth Control, then you need to schedule an appointment to get started on that again. They should do a pregnancy test before they give you the birth control. If you've decided that you want to get pregnant, then you still need to do the pregnancy test. If it is negative, then you just need to give it time. Again, it can take months to get your body straightened back out after being on the shot. It is not uncommon.
