A member asked:

How long could it take for me to get my period after getting off depo-provera shot? and can i get fertility drugs to help me get pregnant faster?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Up to 9 months: You possibly might not see a period for 9 months from your last shot, although it is usually quicker. This assumes your periods were regular before you started the Depo. Fertility drugs are not appropriate in this situation and would be of marginal benefit even if you could find someone who would prescribe them
