What Causes Delay In Periods Post Depo Shot Withdrawal?

So. I have had 2 depo shots. I was supposed to get my last depo on Feb 19 but we want to get pregnant so I didn t. I didn t get my depo super consistanly I think I was late by a week with my second one. While i was the depo i still had my period they were probably about like 2 weeks long. ANYWAYS I had my period on Feb 28 it was 3-4 days long. I read that when you have your first period after taking the depo your probably able to get pregnant. Is this true? Is it normal that I got my period so soon after stopping the depo? Does the fact that I only had 2 shots help my odds of getting pregnant sooner? Is there anything I can do to help get pregnant sooner? I have 3 other children and have always been super fertile it usually takes me 1 maybe 2 months after beginning to try getting pregnant to get pregnant and I only have 1 ovary. Thank you for any help you can give me
