Each month a woman's body prepares for the release of an egg from her ovaries and the potential implantation of a fertilised egg (embryo) in her womb.

To do this it sloughs off the preperations it made in the previous month and this is called Menstruation.

Menstruation starts in puberty when a young woman begins to release eggs and ends in with the Menopause somewhere between 40 and 60.

Why would you have a period tice in one month after depo?

Hormonal birth control stops the menstrual cycle all together - no ovulation means no menstruation - thus on Depo it's normal not to experience menstruation at all, or people can experience irregular bleeds due to the bodies response to the synthetic hormones. After discontinuation of Depo it takes a long time for menstrual cycles to return, longer again for them to regulate. Thus a person stopping Depo may experience irregular bleeds, not all will be menstruation (following from ovulation) but instead will be a result of hormonal imbalance.
