Will your sex drive come back after stopping depo shot?

Hi everyone! I've been on the depo shot for about 5 years. I've had absolutely no complaints about it. However, recently (within the past year or so) I've noticed a huge decrease in my sex drive. Now I know a decrease in sex drive is a side effect, but that didn't have effect on me until the past year or so. I didn't know if this is usual...that side effects can pop up at any time. Or if there is another cause for my low sex drive. Also, if I were to stop the depo, would my libido increase? I know everyone is different and it effects everyone differently. But generally speaking. I've also been thinking about trying to get pregnant within the next year or so anyways. And I know it takes at least 3 months for the shot to get out of your system and then perhaps even longer to get a period and what not. Thank you all for your input!
