Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Periods should soon begin once your depot shot expires and you should soon regain your fertility.
In some people, it may take about a couple of months to get the menstrual cycle.
If the delay is more than 3 months, it would be advisable to get yourself evaluated by consulting Gynecologist.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
