I would be very surpised that you will be able to get pregnant after stopping depo! That caca is wrong and leaves women infertile for upto 18 monhts...But you can be an exception....When did you quit the shot

Don't worry, it's perfectly normal for your periods to be all over the place for a while after coming off the depo. That includes getting two periods close together or not getting one at all for a while! My periods were all over the place after I came off it the first time and I had been on it for a couple of years. The second time I went on it for only about 3 months and then I fell pregnant within 3 months or so of stopping it.

There is no scientific evidence that it leaves you permanently infertile but it can cause problems with conceiving for a long time afterwards ie/ a year or so. Like natzcee said, it depends how long you've been on it.

Good luck!

I was on depo for five years after I had my first child. We wanted another baby so I stopped getting the shot in dec., started a period in feb. And found out I was pregnant in the month of march. Every body is different :d

good luck! :wink:
