For about three years I have been on the Depo Shot. I recently stopped using the birth control method. What I want to know if any ladies have been on the depo shot and then stopped to concieve how long was it before you became prego? I called the OBGYN and they told me about 50 percent it takes them up to 10 months or longer and the other 50 percent is sooner. Which doesn't tell me much. So I want to know from personal experiences how long did it take you?

According to literature given to me when I started depo - THIRTEEN years ago (lol!):
"Based on the results from a large study done in the United States, for women who stop using Depo-Provera in order to become pregnant it is expected that about half will become pregnant within 10 months after their last injection; about two-thirds will become pregnant within 12 months, about 83% will become pregnant within 15 months, and about 93% will become pregnant within 18 months after their last injection. The length of time you use Depo-Provera has no effect on how long it takes you to become pregnant after you stop using it"
I think it would be sensible to wait until you've developed a normal pattern of periods before you try to conceive. Good luck!!

I took the depo shot 1 time after my son I'm pregnant now it took 4 years.......But it's different for everyone....if you have been on it for a long time....it might take along time for your body to adjust...or...you could get pregnant in a week. It just depends on your body.

My sister was on it for about three years, it has been almost a year and she has concieved twice but had two miscarriages. I was on it for about 6 months but hated it, I'm not trying to concieve though. To be safe, I would wait at least 6 months to let your body's hormones return to normal. You don't want to go through having a miscarriage, it is so horrible and sad. Hope all goes well.

Took my a year and a half...I had myself tested after 18 months and no baby...turned out that the shot had stopped my body ovulating alltogether. I had to take clomid to restart ovulation. I found out that just because you get your period every month does not mean that you are ovulating
