HI,
I understand your concern.
Depot shot relieves you of menstrual cramps, but it also prevents ovulation- which is essential for conception.So conception with depot shots is out of question.
To conceive, you have to stop having the depot shot,wait till you have normal ovulatory cycles ( it takes about 6-10 months ).. & then plan for pregnancy.
You can take duphaston pills/ anti spsmodic pills/ pain killers with home care to manage cramps those days.
once you conceive, the cramps would disappear mostly for ever.
Thanks.
