A member asked:

I have been on the deposhot for about 4 years now how long would it take for me to get pregnant after i stop the depo-provera shot?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Up to a year: Sometimes, after women have used the depot Provera (medroxyprogesterone) shot, it can take up to a year to see a return to fertility. Then again, it could happen right away as well. Make sure you're ready for pregnancy in case it doesn't take a year.
