Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.

It is not unusual to have irregularity in your cycle during the first year after coming off of the depo shot. This is related to irregularity in terms of when or if you ovulate monthly. This is obviously still an issue. Counting from the first day of your period, most women ovulate around day #14. You could get an over the counter ovulation kit to see if you are ovulating. If you are not, then a consultation with a doctor would be appropriate. 85% of women will concieve withing one year under normal circumstances.

I hope that this helps.
