Depo is very well known to cause issues for women who are trying to conceive. It can take a very long time to regain your fertility once you quit the shots. Unfortunately they don't tell you that when you first get the shot. I met a lady who literally was 9 years after quitting depo and still didn't get periods and couldn't get pregnant. It is madness. But that doesn't mean it will take that long for you! Everyone is different so you might get lucky and get pregnant sooner rather than later! The point is that there is no way to predict when you will regain your fertility and be able to get pregnant. That's an impossible question to answer.

Hello and welcome!
You can get pregnant anytime once you start getting your periods. After stoppage of Depo-Provera one can become pregnant as soon as three to four months after the last shot. It varies women to women. It may take some women up to a year or two to conceive once they stop using Depovera.It does not depend on how long you have been using Depovera.If you do not get your periods according to the stipulated time it will be best to consult  a gynecologist. Do keep us posted.
Take care and regards!
