Suggest Ways To Conceive

I m 22 and I have been on the depo shot for about a year and a half, my last shot was April 13, 2011. I never had a period while on the shot and still havent got one.It took me 8 months to get pregnant with our first baby. My husband and I want to have another baby and I want to know if theres anything I can do to speed up the process and why it took me so long to get pregnant the first time? should I see a doctor?

Hello,
Thanks for sharing your health concern with us. Return of ovulation is delayed in some cases after the deposhot and this could be one of the reasons for the delay in conception earlier. Now, if you are anxious to conceive, I would ask you to see a specialist for proper clinical evaluation and plan further management. If needed, your hormone levels are managed and induction of ovulation is done. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
