how long should i wait to become pregnant after depo?

Answer 1

When I was on the depo, the doctor advised me to wait for about 8--9 months to even start trying,

The book Contraceptive Technology says: "It is not possible to discontinue Depo Provera immediately. Weight gain, depression, breast tenderness, allergic reactions, and menstrual irregularities may continue until Depo Provera is cleared from a woman's body, about 6 to 8 months after her last injection. After discontinuing Depo Provera, women may also have a 6 to 12 month delay in return of fertility."

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

There is no set time that you have to wait. You can start trying immediately after stopping the shot.However,your body may not allow it to happen. Most women take an average of 18 months to finally get pregnant after stopping the shot.
Don't let that figure discourage you though. I was on the shot off and on for 6 years. The first time(my second)I stopped taking it and tried to get pregnant it only took me 8 months.The second time(my 3rd)was even shorter than that and only took 6 months to get pregnant.

Talk to your Dr. if you have any questions or if it seems to be taking you alot longer than the 18 months.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

You will stop getting your periods after you had sex and then you'll know that you are pregnant , and just have a check up done to be 100% sure.

Answer 4

I think it depends on how long you are on it. I was on it for 6 years and off of it for almost 4 before i got pregant. i think it depends on your system and how fast you get back to ovulation again.
