I am planning to have a baby with my partner and am due for my next depo on June 7th. I am not going to have it as i would like a child. I have heard that it can take a long time for you to get pregnant after the injection but i have also heard that some people conceive very quickly after finishing the injection.
Also my doctor says that it takes three months to get out of your system, then three months for your periods to regulate and then a further three months for your body to release eggs. But i heard that this was to cover their asses incase you were to become pregnant and you didnt want to.
Can anyone help as i would like to conceive soon?

I am 28 weeks pregnant and I was on Depo when we got pregnant. Every woman is different. It may take a week, a month, a year, etc. Its sort of like trying to have a baby when you arent on anything at all. Be patient and good luck.

What your Doctor told you was also what I was told. I think it's true, in that it will take 3 months to get out of your system and another 3 for you to regulate BUT after 3 months I did get pregnant, and then miscarried after 8 weeks. I was told this was due to my body not being ready yet after the depo provera.
To be safe, for you and the baby, I would wait 6 months, why risk putting yourself through the heartbreak of a miscarriage or your baby through the risk of you having rogue hormones still in your body that may harm the baby.
Good luck! I'm trying to get pregnant again now, 2 days later for my period today, fingers crossed.....

I had my last shot in sept 06, first period was middle of jan 07. I bled for weeks straight and went on the pill to regulate. Next period was regular and I conceived in March so it was about 6 months after my last shot. Then again you have to keep in mind I have always been completely regular and I had 3 previous pregnancies that took between 1 and 2 months to conceive each time including while on the pill so I've always been very fertile. I've heard it takes a lot of people longer.

Well like everyone said... it depends on the person. I was on depo for many years and stop taking it back in 2001. It took almost a year for it to get out of my system. It wasn't until I stop seeing my fiance at the time, did I get pregnant. So I would say... count for 6-12 months. Than again...you could be the lucky one!!! Good luck

Hi, I have been on depo all the time between children. When I had my last daughter I came off the depo, and we must have been trying over 12 months untill I finally got pregnant. It might be differant for some women.

Well, it took over 2 years before my periods even returned after Depo, but I have heard of people getting pregnant on Depo, too. I think it's a case by case situation, really.

Most information on Depo Provera says that it could take up to 3 to 6 months after the last shot to have a baby....it has to go through your system and it could take longer depending on your body.

I was pg 5 months after my last depo shot. So it was active for 3 months, then got pg basically 2 months after it wore off. Also never had a pd before I knew I was pg.
I was on depo for over 10 years straight previous to this.

Hi My sister in law was on the injection pill, she fell pregnant not long after she stopped taking the injection, only weeks maybe a month or so.
I was on the pill instead and this took me 6 months to concieve. I supose all our body's are different though.
Good luck with everything!

I was on depo and it took me about a year to conceive. I honestly dont know if that is the "norm", although it seemed like forever a year goes by pretty fast! Good luck!
