"i was on the depo shot for a little over a year and a half. at first i had a very long period (14 days for a few months when my period was generally about 3 days previously). then i stopped having a period altogether. its been a month since i was due for my shot. after reading online i was worried that i would be waiting months-year to get my period back after it however, i woke up today and thankfully got it. i&#039;ve never been so happy to get my period before. i guess i&#039;m one of those lucky few that get their period back as soon as they are off of it.
