Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
Some of them experience the way you are complaining of irregular periods after withdrawal of depot shot. This is mainly because your body takes some time to get back to normal. It may take about one to two months for your periods to be regular again.
Once your periods are regular, your ovulation timing would be proper and fertility chances are more.
Even now though your periods are more frequent than normal, it will not affect your ovulation or fertility.
So keep trying and wait patiently for some time for everything to normalize.
All the best.
