Question About Depo
Posted: 01-15-07 17:30pm

I was on depo for almost a year and had a period the whole time being on it. I stopped taking it because my husband would like to have a baby. I have been off of it for three months and I just want to know if anyone knows how long it might take for me to get pregnant?

Delay in ability to become pregnant
after the last injection of depo-provera, it takes an average of 9 to 12 months to become pregnant:

68% of women conceive within 12 months.
83% of women conceive within 15 months.

93% of women conceive within 18 months.
These rates are not related to the length of time you were taking depo-provera.
