Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Varies: The effects of Depo-Provera can last in the body even up to 1.5 to 2 years after stopping it. In some women the effects are gone 3-9 months later. So if regular periods di not return the only real option is to a see a fertility specialist. Some patience is needed to see what happens.
