Hi newhottmom05,

It could be a sign that you've started ovulating. Around the time of ovulation our bodies can produce a lot of cervical mucous.

It can take up to 18 months for your body to come right after stopping the depo shot, so I wouldn't panic about it. Keep note of it for now, but I wouldn't think it's anything to worry about at the moment.

It took me about 5 or 6 months after my last depo shot to get a period, and I was just as concerned as you... It takes awhile.. and it's different for every woman.

You can't rely on the depo shot for contraceptive purposes once you past the injection date, but for many women, their fertility doesn't return for months.
