A member asked:

Can you still get pregnant if i was on depo-provera for 6 years and the pill for four years?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Dan Fisher answered

Yes.: Depo and ocp produce temporary loss of fertility. Fertility returns after you stop them. Sometimes it takes a few months after depo, .
