Your age was not the issue, the DEPO shot is the issue.
Many people on depo have had a hard time getting pregnant, some take at least two years after getting off of depo. Only a few I know got pregnant while ON the depo shot and immediately after getting off the shot.

i dont think age was a problem but you were quite young.. the depo takes a while to wear off comlpletly and for your cycle to be normal and your reproductive system to work as it should again.. i was on this too and i came off it in jan 02 and by november 02 i was pregnant and now i have the most adorable little 3 year old boy it will take time but you will be ok good luck

Sorry to say that I had a friend who took Depo and it took 10 years after she went off before they became pregnant. Luckily in 10 years you will only be in your late 20's and can still enjoy children.

Birth control affects people differently. Sometimes, when you have been on birth control for years, it could take a while for your body to get back to normal after getting off of it and it might take months (and for some people years) until you can conceive.
My suggestion is to talk to your OB/GYN and see what you can do to help it along :)

its probably just left over depo running through your system. isn't depo supposed to take like up to a year to fully stop working ?? good luck have a little faith those things sometimes take time.

it can take up to a year for the depo to get completely out of your system.

i'm sure is is just the medicine still in your body. I believe it takes 6-9 months to totally rid yourself of the medicine, and doctors say not to try to conceive for a year after stopping the drug.

its just the shot. You havta be off of birth control for at least a year for best baby-making results:)
