How long does it take to concieve after you have been on the Depo_Shot for over a year? I've been off the shot for six months.

It's really hard to say...the Depo shot can affect different people very differently. I know of some who got back to normal fairly early after stopping the shot, but have also heard it can take up to 18 months to get normal cycles to return. If you have ben off 6 months and your cycles are still irregular, you may want to put in a call to the doc and see what they think.

I wish there was more info out there about Depo..a lot of women don't realize when they start the shot how long it can take for fertility to return.

Good luck, hope things get back to normal for you soon!
