How To Increase The Chances Of Getting Pregnant After Depo?
Is there anyway to increase my chances of pregnancy after depo?
I got my first and last depo shot dec 2010. I didnt like how it effected my body so I came off it. And never went back in March to get another. I then decided I wanted to try to get pregnant so ive been trying on and off since April and no luck yet. I instantly got my period back after coming off the shot and it is regular, shouldnt I be ovulating by now? My last period was Jan 06 2012 and I tried from the 12th to the 17th. My period comes every 25 to 26 days. Im really getting discouraged. How long will it take me to conceive?

Thank you for posting on HCM
Depo injection can cause slight delay in fertility - Normally if someone is on repeat depo injections up to a period of 2y continuous - it may take up to 6 to 9 months to get periods started regular & spontaneous.
It seems you only had 1 injection of depo, which should not really delay fertility - I recommend thorough investigations ( blood test for hormonal profile incl thyroid testing & also full blood count etc + ultrasonography to see if ovarian abnormalities )
Hope this helps
