I've been trying for the last month to get pregnant with my husband. I know, that is a short time, but with my first child, It only took a month, it's very easy for me to get pregnant. But about 4-5 month's ago I stopped taken the depo shot, now I can't get pregnant. Is it true that it might take a year before I can even get pregnant?

Hi drownedangel, welcome!

It’s true that delayed return of ovulation can sometimes be a side effect after stopping Depo. A year or 18 months, while not common, is not unheard of. What does you doc have to say about your situation? Sometimes women are put on Oral contraceptives for a few months after coming off Depo to help jumpstart their cycles. I wish you and DH well in TTC.

Good luck,
