Can Pregnancy Occur Even After Taking Depo Shots?

Hey. I m on the Depo Provera shot, It s my first one, and my fiance and I decided that we want to start conceiving. I am due for another shot late november, early december, but I don t intend on getting it done. Is there any possible way I can get pregnant right now? As in, to make my Depo shot ineffective? Or do I just need to wait? Though I do intend to keep trying.

Hallow Dear,

Since you have already taken Injection Depo Provera, the chances of pregnancy during its action period are very meagre. Now since you plan to go for pregnancy at the earliest, please discontinue the Depo injection from your next due date of injection; i.e. November. You should conceive within few months if there is no other problem. May be you will have to wait for a couple of months for the normalization of your hormonal cycles. Depo being a slow release progesterone, the exact period of complete waning of the hormonal effect may take some time.

I hope this serves the purpose.
