Im trying to get pregnant. I took the depo shot 3 months ago, and ended on the 12. While on it I had my period the whole time and it just ended on the 12 when the shot did. So how long would it take till we are able to conceive? We tried yesterday but we were not for sure if the shot would prevent it for longer than 3 months. please help we really want to get pregnant. answer back please.. asap

Depo normally takes a longer time to get out of your system. Most users report fertillity returning between 3 and 12 months after stopping. That does not mean that you cannot be fertile right now.

At best it takes couples on average 3 months to get pregnant without the complications of the depo shot added.

While you are trying and waiting, I suggest you learn about your fertility and how to recognize your fertile week. Look at the tutorials om fertilityfriend (dot com) or elsewhere. That way you will know which week in your cycle is most likely to get you pregnant. And clean up your lifestyle, get rid of stress, eat healthy, get to a healthy weight and cut out poisons like smoke, drugs, medicines (where possible), alcohol, too much caffeine, stay hydrated, sleep enough, etc.

Best of luck TTC!

yep the birth control has no positive or negative response, you will not know where you are as no one will be able to tell you and this may not be what you want to here i know as i have been in your situation, but if it is meant to be then you will get there i did, i got 2 kids at the end of it and you will get there too good luck for you future let me know when your first one arrives as i am sure it will be before 2013
