It takes quite awhile for depo to clear
itself of your system. It can take many
many months for it to stop really working.
It is very normal to have the irregular
bleeding and whatnot after stoppig it.
December really wasn't all that long ago,
give it a little more time hun! Good
luck. Also have you been trying to
concieve during your specific ovulation
days? Or are you just kind of winging it?
Maybe if it is timed at the right time of
month (which may be hard with the way your
periods are) maybe you will have a bit
more success.

Jaydens is right. Depo takes months to
get out your system. Some women take 18
months to fully get back on track.
If you end up going on another form of
birth control, make sure that your doctor
talks to you about all of the side effects
before starting it so that you know
exactly what to expect next time. If you
doctor rushes you in and out, don't be
afraid to look for another who will take
the time to talk about the side effects
with you.
