Yes, that is normal. Depo often does very strange things to a woman's cycle, especially if she is just starting or stopping Depo.

It's not easy to tell when you are fertile. It'll be almost impossible when your cycle is all over the place from getting off Depo. I would suggest using birth control every time, at least until your cycle regulates again.

You definitely won't be able to tell when you are fertile. Usually only really regular people can use that method, and it's still sketchy for most people. And with you getting off depo, your cycle could take months to regulate. Condoms are cheap Wink
