Depo-vero Shot And Getting Pregnant Posted: 06-11-07 14:32pm
Hi everyone. I need some advice and
suggestions.
I have been on the depo shot for four
years. I stopped taking it in Novemeber.
My boyfriend and I are ready to try and
get pregnant. I am very afraid that I
wont be able to get pregnant. I have
heard that it can take up to a year to
conceive after taking the shot.
Does anyone have any thoughts or
experiences with this?

Welcome to .ehealth!
Yes, it can take that long to conceive
after the shot. But that is not always the
case. Since you have been off the shot,
have your cycles come back? If so, are
they regular?

Yes I had my first real cycle this past
week. Since November it has ben so
unpredictable. I wish I would have never
taken it. I bled for a month straight in
January and in the past month I have
"started" three times.
It has been hard

THat is actually what can cause you to
take so long to become pregnant. It is
much more difficult to figure out when you
are fertile if you are irregular. (trust
me, I know how frustrating that can be). I
suggest that you chart your
basal body temperature. (bbt). You can
google it and find some great sites that
help you chart. It will give you a great
insite to what your body is doing.
