Here is a piece from an article on it with the link to the article after.
"Can I Become Pregnant After I Stop Using Depo-Provera?
With Depo-Provera, you could become pregnant as soon as three to four months after your last shot. However, it may take some women up to a year or two to conceive after they stop using this type of birth control. This time frame seems unrelated to how long you had been using Depo-Provera."
The best way to know if you're pregnant is to get a pregnancy test either from one you purchase at the pharmacy or by seeing your doctor.
If you are not pregnant, still in the market for a birth control that is better for you and effective and liked the carefree part of not having to remember to take a pill every day, I have a suggestion for birth control that you check with your Dr. about. This is called Paragard, it is a copper IUD. The copper is the ingrediant that disrupts pregnancy instead of hormones so it is way easier on your body with no side effects or problems for most women. It costs more upfront but since it lasts about 10 years, it is cheaper in the long run when you consider the monthly or every 3 month costs of other birth control. Once you are ready to try for a child, there are no lingering effects to prevent you from being able to become pregnant and you can begin to try the day it is removed.
Do not go for the Mirena IUD which you may have seen advertised on TV. It also contains hormones.
