Hi,
After coming off the depo-shot, ovulation may resume in a couple of months. Meanwhile it is common for menstrual disturbances to happen as the body tries to adjust to the changed hormonal milieu. It is unlikely to conceive during the very first month after coming off the injection. If you wish to exclude/confirm pregnancy, please get the serum beta-hCG levels measured as they give you conclusive evidence. You may follow up with a trans-vaginal sonogram if needed. Please maintain a healthy weight and a healthy diet. Hope this helps. Take care.
