I think it depends on how long your on the depo and it could cause you to be sterile after so long b it's an extremely strong birth control especially when u go and get your shots like your suppose to

I was on depo for five years, was off it for two and 1/2 years got pregnant and lost it. Now a few years later I am currently pregnant and so far having a healthy baby! I would just let your body take its time, good things come with time!

Everyones body is different, if your really concered I'd see a dr. I was on the depo for almost two years & got pregnant while one it, & it caused me to have lots of complications during the beggining of my pregnancy.

I have heard with depo it takes as long as you have been on it to get it out of your system. My biological mothers new wife was a marine and made to use the depo shot and it actually sterilized her. She cant have children now (which I guess works being a lesbian and the more masculine one), but she said it would have been nice to know all the research on depo before the doctors in the military injected her.
