A member asked:

After being on depo-provera for 3 months will it take up to a year for me to get a normal period and could i get pregnant anytime soon ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

6-8 months: It can take 6 to 8 months for a Depo to get completely out of your system. I usually recommend that you have to normal periods before you start trying.
