The : The more important piece of information that's missing here is wheter or not you are getting a regular period. That would indicate if you are ovulating, and if so it's likely not the depo. That's the cause of your infertility. Typically Depo-Provera can affect your hormones anywhere from 9 to 12 months after the last injection, and make it difficult to get pregnant. After that a normal menstrual cycle should ensue. There are a lot of factors here that need to be considered, i suggest you make an appointment with your primary care doctor or ob/gyn in order to better assess your situation. Good luck.

Infertility ?: Depoprovera can stop menstruation as it can inhibit ovulation, but not if you stopped in 2008. If your periods are now regular, ask your gyn physician about an "HSG" (hysterosalpingogram), an x-ray process which can see if your tubes are open, which is the most frequent cause for infertility given regular menses, and a proven fertile partner.
