My husband and I have been married for just over three years and we are starting to think about having a baby. I am currently on Depo Provera. How long will it take for my period to come back and can I get pregnant right when it comes back?

I was on the depo shot for nearly 4 years and i stopped taking it, got my period that next month back & was pregnant 11 months later.
Depo-Provera is not a good choice if you want to be pregnant in the next year or two. Why? Because it typically takes 9 to 10 months to become pregnant after you stop taking Depo-Provera as a contraceptive. It could even take up to 24 months after discontinuing use of Depo-Provera for you to become pregnant. The length of time you use Depo-Provera has no effect on how long it takes you to become pregnant.

Okay. This is turning into a depo question. I'm sorry, I'm interested in the same. How long did it take you to concieve after birth control? Personally, I was on Depo for 6 years. My Dr. said that it can take up to 18 months to leave your body. I switched to pills 2 years ago... No one can predict this. I wish you luck, and I suggest talking to your Dr to plan this, I did, and it's much more exciting to enjoy this, not stress. Best of luck!

Depo takes a couple of months to wear off. Usually they recommend waiting to get pregnant until after you've had your first normal cycle.

It depends greatly on the type and other factors such as weight.
