![default](/r/images/default.png)
Question: I had a depo provera shot (one) on November 18, 2015. I now want to conceive and become pregnant. I am 33 years old. How long will it take to get depo out of my system?
Brief Answer:
Fertility return immediately after stopping depot.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
Fertility return immediately after stopping depot shot but in some cases it may take time.
It may take 4-5 months to regain fertility after depot shot due to anovulatory cycle( ovulation not occur properly).
You got normal menses after depot shot?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Good luck.
Regards

I have not gotten my period again yet. While I was on the shot, I got my period two times in the month of December. Since then, nothing. I was expecting to get it back when I didn't go back for a second shot.
Does the fact that I only had one shot increase my chances of getting pregnant sooner?
Would taking herbal remedies help regulate my hormones quicker?

Sorry for such a long delay in my response.
Yes,one shot of depot may increase the chances of pregnancy because menstrual irregularities are less and resolved early.
You can take M2Tone syp. for period regulation.
You can take herbal medicine also but healthy diet and meditation are also helpful in regulating menses.
