I found some interesting blogs (no studies cited) on depo and breastfeeding:
http://mochamilk.blogspot.com/2007/01/depo-provera-and-breastfeeding.html
http://www.breastfeedingwithlove.com/blog/2011/08/25/Breastfeeding-and-The-Depo-Provera-Shot.aspx
Baby Center disagrees with waiting: http://www.babycenter.com/0_birth-control-shot_1282147.bc

http://www.drugs.com/pro/depo-provera.html
"To ensure the patient is not pregnant at the time of the first 
injection, the first injection should be given ONLY during the first 5 
days of a normal menstrual period; ONLY within the first 5-days 
postpartum if not breast-feeding; and if exclusively breast-feeding, 
ONLY at the sixth postpartum week."

As a side note, I once worked with a young mom on her second baby who had had a Mirena inserted immediately after the birth of #2, and she had low milk production.  We could not figure out any reason for this other than the possibility that the Mirena caused it.  Her OB said that was impossible and would not remove it.  This is from the Mirena website:
http://www.mirena-us.com/is-it-right-for-me/who-is-mirena-right-for.php#ref-breastfeeding-and-mirena
"In general, there have been no adverse effects found in 
breastfeeding performance for women using Mirena, though isolated cases 
of decreased milk production have been reported."
