will i be able to get pregnant again?

[brandonsmommy4ever]

I have been on the Depo shot since my son was 2 wks old. The last time I got my shot was March of 2011. How long does it take for the shot to wear off? How long do I need to wait till I can get pregnant again? I was told 6 months but I think that just seems like a long time. My son is now 19 1/2 months old now and I don't want to wait too long to have another child. I also haven't had a period since my son was born... Is that normal on the shot?

I was o the depo and the last shot i had was in december 2008 so it ran out March 2009 iv fallen pregnant once since then which was March this year but misscarried. My gp told me it could take upto 18 month for it to be completely out of my system x

On the shot you either bleed non-stop or your period stops completely. It has a more likely effect of just stopping your cycle all together. And yes, it can take 6 months to a year for the shot to fully leave your body. You can try at any time, but until you ovulate you won't get pregnant.
