took depo-provera for 14 years went off in march. how long before period and can i get pregnant??

Question

I've been on Depo-Provera for about 2 years, been off of it for 6 to 7 months.I had normal periods for 2 months.How long will it take to get pregnate.?

Answer 1

No way to know: Each individual is on their own unpredictable time table. It can be as long as a year before fertility returns. However, it can be at 91 days after the last shot as well...

Answer 2

Depends: This depends on your age and whether or not you have resumed your menses. If you are getting your period then normally it can take up to one year for a normal couple to conceive.

Answer 3

Wait for menses: Depo may suppress periods for even a year. To get pregnant you have to wait for a period. If you do not after a year of stopping depo, please see a physician. There can be multiple reasons for amenorrhea. If you have periods and have not pregnant after a year of trying, see a doctor, or after 6 months if you are 35 years old or older.

Answer 4

Definitely possible: If you don't want to get pregnant use condoms until you talk to your doctor about getting back on depoprovera.

Answer 5

No: I would not worry yet. You should see an obgyn or fertility specialist to see if the Depo-Provera is still having an effect on your body. Sometimes it can suppress your body's hormones even more than 1 year.

Answer 6

Seek answers: Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) can remain in your system longer than the every 3 month interval you have to get the shot. That being said, you are now16 months without birth control. 85% of couples will be pregnant in 12 months without birth control. You should see your obgyn to discuss next possible steps and look for any other potential issues you may need to overcome to get pregnant.

Answer 7

Yes: If it's been more than 3 months since your last Depo-Provera shot and your periods have returned to normal, it's possible to get pregnant. It's possible before that, but definitely by then, if you are trying to conceive, i recommend "taking charge of your fertility" by toni weschler. She also has a website, tcoyf.Com.

Answer 8

Yes: Depo-provera will eventually leave the body and it's contraceptive effects ceases. When menses and ovulation returns the ability to conceive improves.
