A member asked:
If i stop the depo-provera shot and start to take the birth control pill will that make my period come and could i get pregnant off that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: Yes, if you start birth control pills you should resume having periods, although they may be somewhat irregular while the Depo gets out of your system. No, you should not get pregnant, as you will be substituting one form of birth control for another.
