Maybe: The Depo-Provera shot is a very effective form of birth control. Unfortunately, during the months after stopping the shot, your cycles can be irregular related to irregularity in ovulation. It is not a bad idea to do a few months of birth control to regulate your cycle, and then go off and try for pregnancy.
