A member asked:

Can i take maca powder or fenugreek while on the depo shot? will it interfere with my birth control? i'm not trying to get pregnant at the moment..

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: to interfere with the depo provera shot. What reason for the supplements? It sometimes takes up to a year for the depo to leave your system and allow ovulation to resume.
