I think i might be sterile from depo-provera shot, help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why?: Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) can have a prolonged effect and a delay in the return of normal hormonal cycling. Because the medicine is deposited in the muscle and is slowly released over time, you have to wait for that process to complete. It will typically be longer than the 3 month interval for your shot schedule and may be up to 6 months or more. How long ago was your last shot?
