When Can I Conceive After Taking Depo Shots?

I am currently on the Depo shot. I've only received three and my next shot is due at the end of this month. I don't plan on getting another shot. I want to try and get pregnant. How long does it normally take for the shot to wear out of my system and when will I be able to conceive?

Hi, after taking depo injection for Long, it takes atleast 6 months to 1 year to get the ovaries back to normal. Ovulation gets suppressed. So, you may take 6 months to 1 year to get pregnant. If you want to be pregnant sooner, you can take some medicines like clomiphene for the growth of your follicles. Track your follicles growth by repeated ultrasound and when your follicles is more than 17 mm, take injection for rupturing the follicles. Be in contact with your husband for next 2 to 3 days. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. You can try like that for 3 to 6 months. It will increase chances of your pregnancy. Hope I have answered your question. if you have any other query I will be happy to help.
