Hi,

Depo Provera is known to cause various menstrual irregularities. After withdrawal of the drug, regularity ovulation menstrual cycles to established, it takes 4-6 months. Meanwhile, it can show varied menstrual patterns. If you have normal period followed by pregnancy like functions it can be due to hormonal imbalance OR early pregnancy (which needs to be confirmed by home pregnancy test after 8 days delay in periods).

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
