Coming off the pill injection

[Englishbird]

My colleague came off the pill injection in April and has still not had a period, has anyone else found that it's a long time getting back to normal?

can take a year sometimes longer.

I'm on it and my doctor said it can take up to 18 months for things to return to normal. everyone's different.

[fine,thanks]

do you mean the depo contraceptive injection. ?

[Englishbird]

Yes, the depo. I used to be on it and I can't remember how long it took for my periods to return to normal, I do remember they said upto two years, but mine wasn't anything like that. She's not that worried, but just wondered what other's experiences are.

Thanks for your answers.

it was about 3 months for me and then it didnt stop for a month, I am now on the implant that last for three years which has a lot less of the hormone and also as a bonus stops your periods and your are fertile as soon as it comes out!!
