It could take up to or over a year to get your periods back after the depo shot.

I got mine back in three months only because I started taking Kariva (pill) after my last depo shot.

With Kariva I've had ZERO side affects.

Answer 2

I was on the depo on and off for 14 years. In my experiences, about 3-4 months after I was due for a shot I would have my first period, although in Depo info it states anywhere from 6 - 18 months.

I looked up a few things for you and came up with a site that had something natural for ovarian cysts, and then another that I really found interesting dealing with your menstral cycle. I think you will find that one very informative and helpful.
