Although probably not serious, it should be checked into if it's been going on for nearly 2 years since the DepoProvera. It may be just horamonal variation, lack of ovulation or other hormonal irregularities such as thyroid (low or elevated). When you can, get this checked out. There are clinics in University hospitals as well as gyn services at Planned Parenthood that may be able to accomodate you.
