A member asked:

Does taking a prenatal vitamin plus dha after depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) shot, help you get pregnant right away? i'm sure i'm fertile. haven't always been on depo-provera

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No, but...: No, the vitamins will not help you get pregnant quicker, but it is important that you take vitamins. Being on adequate folic acid before conception reduces the risk of anomalies including cleft lip, heart defects, spina bifida, and now even autism.
