Suggest Remedy For Getting Pregnant
Hi I'm 19 years old. And I was on the depo shot for about 3 years and I was due for my next shot in November or 2010 and I didn't take it. Me and my partner are wanting a baby. It's been 5 months since I've had the injection and I hadn't had a period so I went to the doctor and got on tri sprintec to have a period so I could ovulate. When I have a period should I stop taking the pill to get pregnant?

Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Depo provera has the side effect of prolonged amenorrhea.
The pills will induce the periods.
You should stop taking the pills once you get the periods.
Pregnancy should be planned after periods.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Regards
