Hi,

I do not think it is due to the depot shot that you are unable to get pregnant.
Even if depot shots delay pregnancy its only for 3-4 months. But since you have stopped it almost 4 years ago, it is not the reason you are not conceiving.
You and your partner need to get evaluated for other causes.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
