A member asked:
Does depo-provera permanently reduce fertility? i would like kids in the next 5 years but not now (college). should i just get on the pill?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depo effects: can last between 3 to 12 months after stopping the injections. As long as you don't have a SPECIFIC date that you want to get pregnant, Depo is a safe and effective method of birth control. You just have to wait for the hormone to clear before normal fertility returns.
