A member asked:
Could the depo-provera shot made me infertile after been on it for a year or two?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Depoprovera does not cause infertility. It can cause a slow return to ovulation after you stop using it. Some get pregnant immediately after stopping it. Others take up to 12 months to start ovulating again.
