How long??


I was on the depo shot for a year after my daughter was born.I stopped because I wanted to get pregnant.It's been a year since I've been off the shot.My question is how long does it take to get pregnant again after stopping the shot?

Answers:
It really depends on your body, depo provera is a horrible birth control and it can take your body years to overcome the damage it unknowingly does. I was on the depo for about 1 yr and decided to come off of it because I was constantly sick, had horrible headaches and other problems. My hubby and I had unprotected sessions for about 2 years before we actually started trying to have a baby. It took about 8 months before I actually became pregnant. I tried going to a doctor to ask why I was having so many problems with my cycles and that it seemed I was unable to concieve, and she basically told me to go back on birth control, and wouldn't even acknowledge the fact that I wanted to have a baby, and I was worried depo may be preventing that. Good luck to you, give your body time to adjust to not having this chemical in it and relax, you will soon be blessed as I am.

Im not real sure what the amount of time is for the shot, but with the pill it can be any time. Ask your Gyno, they should be able to help with your questions. If not just keep trying and it'll happen.

it can take up to a year for you to begin to ovulate again once you stop your shot it took me 15 months to get pregnant once i stopped taking it you just have to be patient and it will happen but it will take a while i heard nine months to a yr, maybe longer

depo is the devil Some women take months. Othes take years. It's all in your personal makeup.
