Hormonal birth control messes up your entire body. For four years, you haven't had a single period (if you *did* have vaginal bleeding, it was *not* a period!!). It takes your body a chance to get back to normal!! In fact, it can take up to a full year. Some women are rendered permanently infertile by the use of hormonal birth control.
I hope your doctor told you the risks of using Depo before he gave you the first shot (and the dozen or so times after that when he gave you the *next* shots)!! It is considered a medical and legal requirement to have full disclosure before treatment.

I have a friend who was on deppo for 8 years. Once she got off, and she did have a period, it lasted for almost a month.
She did finally manage to conceive a happy, healthy daughter, but it took over a year of trying before conception.
Be patient. It will happen.
I can also tell you that she'll never go back on deppo again. She went on the pill after she had her second child this March, but she said deppo just messed with her system too much.

Just to back up the other answers, I was on deppo for about two years and it took a year for my periods to return to normal and another four months before I got pregnant. It seems that 12-14 months is about average.

I had the deppo jab for 5 years. I came off it in 2002 and got pregnant end of 2004. My periods were all over the place for ages. Eventually i bought some ovulaion testing sticks (like pregnancy test sticks) and these told me that i was actually ovulating, because i had my doubts too. But i was and eventually my patience paid off!

I was on the deppo shot for four or five years -I recently found out that I'm five weeks pregnant - It took a year and a half for me - I thought I couldn't get pregnant - one day I just stopped thinking about it and it happened! I think It depends on your body - most of my friends say it was about a year and a half for them too.

depo provera is an evil drug. When they tell you it can take 6 to 12 months of not receiving it for your body to function again, you are in the mind set of not wanting to conceive so don't fully take it on board.
All you can do is be patient and prepare your body in other ways. Give up smoking/drinking/drugs if relevanty, get your body mass index to a healthy range, see the link below to work it out, and eat healthily.
There is a miniscule chance that your ovaries won't function normally after 12 months, at which point see your dr. Drugs such as Clomid can help kick start your ovaries.

Now everyone can cure infertility using this natural remedy http://pregnancyhelps.info
infertility can run in the family and one of the first things the doctor asks you when you go to a fertility clinic is your family history regarding cases of infertility or other reproductive issues.
If infertility is caused by genetic disorder then it's not unusual that one of the kids (your mom) doesn't have it and another does (your aunt).
two months of trying is still to early to be concerned about the fact that you might be infertile and it's also quite early to go to a fertility specialist. Go to a regular Obgyb to get a closer insight and see what ways there are are to improve your fertility rate.
Also remove alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes from your life because they might influence your chances too. Stress is also a risk factor when it comes to infertility.

That happen to me. I was on the depo for 6 months then went off of it, but didn't get my period for 3 or 4 more months. I went to the doctor and found out that my thyroid was low. She prescribed thyroid pills that I will have to take the rest of my life and my period came back. It can take a while to come off of Depo. I'm not a fan of anything that messes with my body. Talk to you doctor and have her test your thyroid.

Some thyroid disorders can be cured, but many require lifetime treatment. Learn here https://tr.im/iKiVT
For example, sometimes early stage thyroid cancer can be cured by surgery to remove the thyroid gland, but you will need to take thyroid hormone medication afterwards for the rest of your life. Goiters can also be surgically removed and do not always recur after surgery. In most cases, thyroid disorders need treatment over a lifetime. However, with treatment most people with thyroid disorders can live normal, healthy lives.
