What is the depo injection you are taking? Because depo injection are usually given for contraception. Hence I would require a bit more clarity in your question.
hi lisa ;
Depo is a shot used for contraception .The action of one shot lasts for about 3 months after that it will go away.Till the action of Depo is present you will not become pregnant.So wait for 3 months to finish the effect of Depo then you can try for pregnancy.The sick feeling may be due to hormonal effect ;it will go away soon then don't take another shot as you want to have a baby.
thanks

hello dear, if u r planning for a baby, kindly avoid any kind of contraception.Depot efects will wane in around 2 to 3 months.The sick feeling is because of hormones in the shot.
