Dr. Joyce Pastore answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Pregnancy: Everyone's body is different - you may start ovulating within 3-6 months of stopping Depo or sooner, hard to say. Unprotected sex can result in pregnancy, so take a pregnancy test is you have missed a period and did not use a form of birth control.
