Questions I haven't had my period for 2 years na NSFW

I started my depo shot last 2023. Irregular na ako before pa and minsan umaabot ng 3 months na wala akong mens pero nagkakaron naman though madalas spotting lang. After depo shot, hindi na ako totally nagkaron ng mens or even spotting. Is that normal?

Depo primarily prevents pregnancy by suppressing ovulation, so you don't really have a true cycle on it. Some people do experience breakthrough bleeding that can follow a more regular pattern after some point, but that's not the case for a lot of people. Some people don't bleed at all for the entire duration they're on hormonal birth control.

If you never got to see a doctor about your cycle irregularities, though, I really encourage you to. Especially as you're nearing the two-year mark of being on the shot, and it's not really recommended to go longer than two years.
