Is pregnancy possible without a menstral cycle?

I was on the depo shot for 3 years. I've been off of it for about 3 months. I still have'nt had a period. Can i get pregnant??? Does anyone have any pointers on how to quicken the process?

i was on depo for two years and then i went on the pill for ten months. as soon as i went on the pill i got my period the next month. so you could try going on the pill to regualate your cycle. just a sugestion

Well everyone else answered your primary question, but as far as quickening the process, I'm not entirely sure. Things you can start to do include:

-exercise
-take a prenatal vitamin everyday
-stop smoking/drinking
-eating a lot of fresh fruits and veggies and ditching junk foods
-charting your ferility (by using the Basal Body Temping or CM monitoring or OPKs)

I can tell you that when you notice a cervical discharge that looks like clear snot and is really stretchy/runny that you're fertile and most likely able to conceive.

Hope that helps!

Well, normally you'll ovulate before your first period. So it is possible

after my first son in 04 i went on depo and never had a period and in march of 06 found i was pregnant even though i never once had a period for almost 2 years. it is VERY possible. i tried charting my temps, but they were so sparadic (sp) and my hormones were all over the place, it can be done!!! best of luck :)

Yes you can get pregnant before you have had a period...
It helps if you chart your basal body temperature, or buy an ovulation testing kit. Then you can work out when/if you are ovulating.
