Question: Can I get pregnant if I just stopped taking Depo Provera shots?
Answer: Depo Provera is a powerful form of birth control. It is given by injection. Each injection lasts about 12 weeks as a form of birth control. So if you have had a shot within those 12 weeks, you are unlikely to get pregnant.
After that 12 week period, you will have a return to your natural fertility. Some women are naturally more fertile than others, therefore it takes less time to get pregnant. If you have questions about your future fertility please check with your doctor or midwife to discuss this matter.
