Four years after depo and no baby

I was only on the depo shot once about 4 years ago and my cycles haven't been the same since. I have been trying to have a baby for one year . They use to come about once ever 4 or 5 months. Now they are ever 40 to 50 day after 4 years of being off of it. this is the worst birth control ever. Dose anyone else have my problem . Can they give me any ideas of speeding it up?

I think it's probably not the depo...you were irregular before you got the shot if I'm reading you correctly, and are irregular now.

I was on the depo for 6 years. I loved it because I only had to think about it 4 times a year and I never had a period. After I went off it (because we wanted to get pregnant) it took about a year before I got my period. It was about every three months, then every 60 days, and finally it was a little more regular. I went to the doctor's and they did blood tests at the beginning, middle and end of my cycle to see where my hormone levels were and she gave me clomid. I was pregnant that next cycle. Ethan is 5 months old now.

Hang in there, ask your doctor.
