anyone been on the shot?

Question

So the time is coming now that I'm about to get married and eventually want kids. My question is how quick would i need to get off of the shot to become pregnant? I have been on it for about a 1 year1/2. And how easy could you get pregnant still being on it?

Answer 1

I'd say get off the shot now, perhaps go on Kariva or some other pill until you get your periods back.

I've heard horrors of depo and conceiving. I was on depo for four years and have had horrible side affects and have also heard that some women need to go to a fertility specialist because of their difficulty conceiving after the shot. Then again some have gotten pregnant right off of the shot. I hope you are one of those women.

And you can get pregnant on it, I also know someone who has.

I've been off depo for about a year and a half and on Kariva that time. Life is much better.
