A member asked:

Can you get pregnant after stopping depo-provera if u have a irregular period after or wait for it to get back normal ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, you can: Unfortunately, one side effect of depot provera (medroxyprogesterone) is that it may take up to a year until a woman, who has been on depot provera (medroxyprogesterone), ovulates regularly and has regular cycles again. With the unpredictable ovulations these women may become pregnant any time.
