well i dont know if this will help but usually after taking any kind of birth control for a certain amount of time, it usually takes a whole year to get your periods to start back up and to become regular. i was on the depo shot for 3 1/2 years so i didnt have a period the whole time, after i got off the depo shot it took me another year to start and finally the next year i found out in November of 2005 I was pregnant. i wish you the best of luck!

If you're not having periods, you're probably not ovulating. Doctor is right to try to get normal periods going before trying the next step, which would be to take a drug to stimulate ovulation (if ovulation doesn't spontaneously occur once periods are normal). Good luck.

Vitex (vitex agnus-castus), a central ingredient in FertilAid for Women, is a medicinal herb that has been shown in clinical studies to support fertility and treat common fertility disorders, particularly those associated with cycle irregularity and hormonal imbalance. With a long, safe history of human use, vitex was traditionally taken as a treatment for menstrual disorders, infertility, and menopause symptoms (Daniele, 2005). While the popularity of vitex as a nutritional fertility supplement is now starting to grow in North America, women in Europe have used vitex for over sixty years to regulate the monthly cycle and support their chances of becoming pregnant sooner. In the last decade, modern clinical science has validated the balancing, fertility-promoting properties of vitex - and a number of important clinical studies indicate that vitex does indeed exert a normalizing effect on the monthly cycle, as well as balance the hormones involved in ovulation and menstrual regularity. Better yet, vitex also appears to increase the odds of pregnancy
Clinical studies now bolster claims associated with vitex agnus castus as an herbal remedy for cycle irregularity, hormonal imbalance, and some common fertility disorders. In a benchmark study, sixty-seven women with ovulatory/cycle disorders were treated with vitex agnus, which resulted in a "marked improvement of progesterone levels during the luteal phase, earlier ovulation, and thirty-eight achieved pregnancies
I dont know if it works but it sounds like something we could all try......
