Hello,
The contraceptive effect of depot injection can wear off in one week and may continue for 8 months.
Chances of pregnancy are definitely There.
Return of periods after stopping depot injection varies from females to females.
Some may get within a month and some may take even 6 months to a year.
Thanks
