Nobody can tell you. If you weren't on any birth control at all, we still wouldn't be able to tell you. The average healthy couple can take up to a year to conceive. You could get lucky and get pregnant your very first month of trying, or it could take a while. It's all a matter of timing - you have sex around your fertile time, the sperm has to meet the egg, travel down, implant in your uterus before it's reabsorbed by your body, and then it has to hang in there. Some women miscarry before they even know they were ever pregnant. Sometimes the hormones don't build quickly enough to stop your period, and the egg is flushed out with your blood and tissue.

So you see, it's not as easy as telling you when it will happen. You'll just have to be patient, wait for the depo to leave your body, and then try. Good luck.

I found this quote on the FDA website talking about getting pregnant after depo...



So, it may take a couple months to return to the normal menstrual cycle. However, since you were only on it for 6 months, I can't imagine it would take a year to get back on track.

I gave you the quote to show you it doesn't keep you from having kids EVER, but that it is just a matter of getting your cycle regular again so you can plan your pregnancy.

Good luck!

I took my last depo in August 2006 after being on it for 2 years and 3 months and my periods are still not regular. There were every 4 weeks for a few months, now I have a full period and exactly 14 days later I spot, 14 days later a full one again. Me and my husband are desperate for a baby and I am finding this very stressful. It doesn't help that I seem to be surrounded by pregnant ladies, most of them by accident I may add! Anybody got any advice? Has this happened to anyone else? I just don't know when I am ovulating and it is really getting me down! I have been to the doctor who just says, it takes longer with some women, they have tested my hormone levels and they have come back ok....

I was on depo for 8 months. and I am pregnant. I still had a month of it left in me while I was on it. It all depends on yours & his body..

I am wondering if anybody else experienced periods every 2 weeks after coming off the depo...even after 2 years my body still seems to be sorting itself out. I was very regular before hand....

i was on it for almost 2 years and then went to the pill right after i stopped takin the shot, and was on it for 2 months, and my periods where regular but ever since me and my fiance have been trying since setpember of 08 they have been really weird will have my period for 3 weeks and then go away for a week and then a little spotting for a few days and then go away for 2 weeks and so on, so its hard to tell when im ovulating.. does anyone have any advice?

im now pregnent, i was on the depo for just over 4 years in total,
it has taken about a year and a half to become pregnent.

i have been off of the depo shot for just over two months. In the last three weeks i have had severe nausea at night and have been very sensitive to smells. I didnt not have morning sickness with my son either. i was only sick at night. strange i know. my stomach is very tender but i dont feel sick. my breasts are becoming tender as well. i had very low hcg levels with my first pregnancy and i took over 2 months for a positive result hpt. could i be pregnant?? i have taken a hpt already but it was negative
