Dr. Milroy Samuel answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Unknown: The Depo-Provera shot is very unpredictable. Pregnancy may result immediately or take a year and a half. If you are planning on having a child in the near future Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) is not the best choice.
