Hi,
In the current scenario, it appears that you have been experiencing hormonal imbalance following the depo shot. You may need hormonal supplementation for a couple of cycles and please discuss with your doctor about this. If you are planning to conceive now, it is essential that your ovulation status is regularized to give you good and early results.To confirm/exclude pregnancy, you may go for the blood test. Hope your query is answered. Good luck.
