it takes 17 months for depo to get out of your system. I had a bad experience with this shot, I only had one shot then stopped cause I was gaining weight and wanted to try for a baby. so I made an appointment to talk to my gyno and he informed me that it can take up to 17 months for it to be completely out of your system. So about 6 months later of having no period it came back with a vengeance I was having period for 2 weeks every month. so I was put on pill birth control to help regulate my period. so after 6 months and 7 Months of trying I became pregnant.  your doctor is most likely going to put you on the pill to help get you regular again.
