I have taken depo for the past four years. I took my last shot in Jan. I had my first period about two weeks ago. How long will it take for me to become regular.

It took me 3 months, which was how long I was on te shot. Since I didn't have one for almost 3 months, after I stopped. I had it on and off for 3 months.

I was getting the shot for 3 and half yrs. Stopped 8mths ago and still no period. I want to have a child now and my clock is ticking. I regret ever getting this shot because of all the side effects I have had to deal with. I am afraid that I have ruined my chances of having a child. I had light, irregular periods and two miscarries(never past 3mths) before I began getting the shots. I am also worried about the long term effects to my health, brittle bones,cancer ect. I actually asked a question on the depo issue and the answer , from KC, I chose was very interesting. I guess each case is different and can only advise you to be patient and give your body some time to adjust. Good Luck. Peace2U.

Every woman is different, so it varies. I was on depo for 3 years & after my last shot, I had a 2 week long period, then irregular ones for about 3 more months. Also, took 4 years after to finally get pregnant. Good Luck!

last year i was on depo for a few months, maybe 8 months, after that i stopped getting my shots. for about a year i would have a normal period every other month. now nine months after i stopped taking the depo i learned i was 3 months pregnant. so i never did get to be every month again for me.

It depends on your own body and how regular (or irregular) you were before using Depo. Normally they advise to stop 6-12months before attempting to get pregnant.
In my case, it was 3 years. Two of those years with infertility treatments. But my case is probably worst case.
Good luck.

3 months after I got my period again so 7 months from the last shot.
