Didnt get my depo-provera 6 months ago and i wanted to get pregnant right away. the first month after i got my period and it was just brown and lasted 4 days. now i am finally bleeding normally. i tested for ovulation but can't seem to get pregnant. why?

One year: The depo-provera shot thins out the lining of your uterus. It may take a year after stopping the Depo-Provera before you are able to get pregnant. After that, most couples are able to achieve pregnancy within a year of beginning conception. You are very likely to become pregnant within this time frame (8/14).

Wait.: If you stop depoprovera it can take up to 6 months to ovulate. Depends on your cycles previously. If you did an ovulation test and ovulated there is a 10% chance a month to get pregnant; even with healthy partner and healthy ovaries etc. Wait about 4-6 months, do ovulationtest to time your intercourse (have sex every other day as soon as the test turns positive), take a prenatal vitor see your ob.

Unpredictable: Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict when you will restart ovulatory cycles. The Depo-Provera effect may linger for 6-9 months. This has been 6 months since your last shot, so i would hope that by now, you are starting to have normal length, normal amount, normal frequency, ovulatory cycles. With birth control pills, when you stop taking them, you ovulate the next month. With depo, you have to wait.

Agree with all docs: Just remember, the average chance of conception each month is 20% with unprotected sex. If you are ovulating, then keep trying and wait. If no conception in 6 to 12 months, consult a fertility doctor for their expertise. Have your partner check a quick semen analysis to make sure he's okay on his end. Good luck!
