 Depo-Provera can do just about anything to a woman's normal cycle. This can range from no bleeding to severe bleeding and just about anything in between. After about 6 months on the medication about 1/2 of women will no longer have a monthly cycle. After 12 months almost all women will stop having their monthly cycle. It will return after stopping the depo-provera.
I suspect that you may be experiencing some symptoms related to your medicine; however, this is a little soon. If you were ready to start your regular cycle it may be your normal cycle with some medication effect.
The medication does not start preventing pregnancy right away. I recommend that women use another form of birth control for 1 month after starting the medicine. So if there is a possibility of becoming pregnant I would recommend you take a home pregnancy test. The medication will not interfere with the test.
If your symptoms do not improve over the next few days I would recommend you see your doctor for an evaluation.
Best wishes.
