A member asked:
I been off birth control (depo provera) for almost three months i've had two periods n i'm currently in my second i want to get pregnant how long?

Could be awhile: Depo will be officially active for 3 months in your system. There may be residual inhibition of ovulation for 6, 9, or 12 months, however. You should resume normal monthly periods sometime between 3 and 6 months, however, and you can assume that you have returned to ovulating once your normal cycle returns.
