how long after you get off of birth control should you start your period?

I was on the Depo shot for 2 years and I was wondering how long after I have stopped recieving the shot should I start my period again? It has been 2 months and I still have not started..

Good luck with this one. Depo shot can stay in your system for up to a year. So you may not start a period until then. All bodies are different and depends on how well your body reacts to certain medications. Depo is a really bad choice of birth control and I do not reconmend it to anybody.
