Q: what happens to my body after depo birth control? and is it possible for me to get pregnant when i want to?

: "Want" is a broad term. If you were fertile before using depo you will likely return to baseline after you stop. Some reports suggest a year or more may be required to return to baseline. The average expected wait for a desired pregnancy in those with normal fertility is 6 mo with a range of weeks to a year.
