Thank you for your inquiry. (If this was Depo-Provera) following Depo-Provera injection for contraception it can take up to a year for the cycle to return to normal and women may experience irregular menses in this period. Even though her cycle is not regular there is still a possibility of becoming pregnant and so if you do not wish to become pregnant you should still use some form of contraception.
