On june 30th, 2012 i had my first and only depo-provera shot. on december 26th i had brown spotting for a week. is this fertility returning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Depo-provera normally stays in the system no more than 2 to 3 months. One can have suppressed ovulation though for up to 6 to 9 months after the depo-provera injection before regular ovulation resumes.
