Hi Jemma,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Depo contraceptive being a long acting contraceptive .. provides long time suply of hormines to supress child bearing.
On discontinuation,it tskes 4-6 months for regainning normal menstrual cycle. Very rarely in causes a long standing menstrual problem...it's not a regular feature of the contraceptive . So don't be scared.
So waiting period for conception is about 4 to 6 months .
Thanks.
