Topic: I had contraceptive injection last January 19, effective until April 19. I had menstruation from April 27 until May 3. Then I had sex on May 2, but with condom. I had mesntruation on May 16 for 2 weeks. Now in June, I did not have menstruation until now. Why don't I have my period yet until now? I did not have sex this June.

usually, contraceptive injections last for 3 months. Common side effect po ng mga ganitong contraceptive yung pagchange ng menstrual period which is what you are experiencing right now. If you give it time, however, your normal period will be restored.
