How long does it usually take to conceive after getting off the depo shot?


I was supposed to go in for it in February,but didn't go.I haven't even started my period yet.

Answers:
The depo shot is the worst when it comes to trying to conceive after using it. It can stall a womens cycle for up to 2.5 years after just 2 doses. Of course they don't tell you this at the time.

It took me 22 months to get pregnant after the shot ( I only ever had one dose as it made me so sick for the 3 month duration it lasted) wore off.

Good luck and know that you are better off with the pill instead.

Other Answers:
They say it takes up to 18 months-
I got preggers with my last child within the week of missing my shot!

It depends how long you were on it. If you were on it for less than a year, it may not take very long. If you were on it for years...it can take up to 12-18 months. It can take up to 18 months to get pregnant. The depo shot really messes with your hormones so if you are wanting to get pregnant soon I would go to the doc and see what they can do to get your cycle back on track!


about 9mths for me
