Answer 1

Trying To Conceive After The Depo Shot

Of all the advances in modern medical technology, the invention of chemical birth control has been the most detrimental to women. This shot, taken only 4 times a year, is supposed to stop the ovaries from producing/releasing an egg. Doctors often tell their patients that the shot is safe and effective and normally not harmful to the reproductive cycle.

The fact that a woman should receive the shot every three months does not mean that fertility can be restored within 3 months. The average from women  who have had the shots, is at least 18 months before they can conceive. The chances of having a miscarriage are greater due to the fact that the reproductive hormones are greatly affected by the shot causing an imbalance. Also, conceiving too soon after the shot, or right before the shot, can cause birth defects in the baby. This is why the doctor will give a pregnancy test before giving the shot.

The key to restoring fertility after the Depo shot lies in stopping the shot and never getting another. If you’ve had the Depo shot in the past 6 months, I recommend taking a couple of months in cleaning out your body, to rid yourself of the harmful chemicals before trying to conceive. Try a liver cleanse and/or a colon cleanse (you can purchase these from health-food stores). You don’t need to try to conceive while doing these cleanses, which normally takes one month. These cleanses are a series of herbal and vitamin pills which act to clean the toxins out of the body.

Get serious about drinking water. Water is nature’s perfect cleaner, and will clean out the inside of the body if you drink the optimal amount daily (8-10 glasses). Also, boosting fertility naturally will increase the chances of a healthy, drug-free conception. Look into evening primrose oil, Vitex, natural progesterone cream, vitamin B6 to name a few of the good fertility boosters. Be sure to take these at the appropriate times during the cycle to benefit you best.

  

Answer 2

My doctor told me it takes "a while" to wear off as well, but they never specified how long that is because it varies per person. I can tell you that it was almost 5 yrs after the last depo shot I took before I got pregnant again. I would talk with your gyne and see if there's anything you can do to help increase your chances.

Answer 3

it can take up to a couple of years for a woman's fertility to return after depo, especially if she's been on it for several cycles.  it's impossible to know what's impeding getting pregnant though without getting checked out by a doctor. good luck.
