>I had regular periods before having Depo injection. I had injections for a year. My last injection was November 2002 and I haven't had a period since(9 months ago)! Now my doctor's investigating whether or not I have polycistic ovaries. I read up on the injection before going on it and my docter said I may take a couple of months to get back to normal after taking it - not a year as they're talling me now is possible! I have no idea yet if I have polycistic ovaries but from what I'm hearing I am wondering about a connection between them and the injection.
