How long will it take to get pregnant after being on the depo provera injection for 6 months?

Question

I just had my 2nd depo provera injection and me and boyfriend have decided that i won't have the next one as we want to start a family. This means i would have been on it for 6 months, how long will it take to get pregnant after being on it for 6 months?

Answer 1

Everyone is different. When I stopped the shot after the three months that the shot was effective I got pregnant 2 months after that. I did have to go on the pill for a month to regulate my period though because when the shot wore off i got my period non stop for weeks. Also keep in mind though there's a lot of people that take longer than that and I was fairly young, 20 at the time, so that could have had something to do with it as well.

Answer 2

It all depends some women after getting off that shot have a hard time getting there body back to normal and have a hard time  getting pregnant. Other women dont have a problem at all. So no one can tell you. You just need to wait until ur body gets back on track an u start haven a period once a month again.

Answer 3

It is completely different for each woman.  There are many women who get pregnant the month that they stop the BC but there are also many women who don't even have a period for several months after stopping.  I did the depo shots for 6 months (2 injections) and I resumed periods right away.  I have VERY irregular periods though and we are TTC right now.  Good Luck.
