Yes, when you get off Depo, it could take
up to a year for you to get pregnant
regardless of how long you were on Depo.
Yes, there are also serious side effects
to Depo. There are side effects to every
hormonal method of birth control, but Depo
actually has some irreversible side
effects.
You can find information on any form of
birth control if you google it. Often
times, when looking up birth control, the
very first site that comes up will have a
list of side effects. This site will tell
you more about Depo:

Your doctor should have explained all of
this with you before you started Depo.
They often have papers with all of the
symptoms written out to give patients. If
your doctor does not explain these things
to you, feel free to see someone else.
This is pretty important stuff to know.
