I stopped the contraceptive injection in November. In December I had a period and then no period in January . I then have had a period every 2 week since Febuary. Is this normal ?

This is completley normal as long as you have been using contraception-not that is very likely you are pregnant anyway as it takes so long to wear off.
I didnt have periods when i had injections & they didnt return at all until 6 months later of which i got pregnant after my first period , a lovely unexpected surpise Smile

i stopped having injections a few years ago in october, had a period in november and another in december fell pregnant at the beginning of january, i think it may depend on the individual....

I've heard it can take a while to get back to normal.

Its just really annoying because I am never sure when AF will make her appearance. Before I had the injection my periods were as regular as clockwork. I am wondering if I should go to the gp for a check up.

it can take up to a year for your fertility to get back to normal so your periods can be erratic as it gets out of your system
