Re: depo concern

Generally, periods resume about 6-8 months after your last injection. Fertility should be delayed about 6-12 months.

Re: depo concern

It does take many women on depo awhile to regain their fertility afterwards. If you don't get a period in 6 months to a year after your last injection, you may need to see your gynecologist. They can prescribe progesterone (Provera or Prometrium) that should cause you to have a period afterwards, with the hope that this will jumpstart your cycles to begin naturally.

Re: depo concern

Definately see a doctor if it doesn't return within 6 months or so. I went through all of this. My period didn't return for 5 years and didn't become regular until 9 years after I had my last injection!!! I managed to get pregnant during the first 5 years thanks to 4 rounds of Clomid. That was the only thing that made my period come.
