Specializes in Fertility Medicine

See Doctor: If you start having regular periods then you know you are likely ovulating. Depo effects often last 9 months but can last well over 1 year. So if you are trying to get pregnant you will likely need a fertility specialist in the short term unless you get lucky and resume periods now.
