Hi,
Thanks for your question.
Depo provera do not destroy chances of getting pregnant, but it takes few months for fertility to return. Usually 6 months but may take 9-10 months.
Do not loose your hope & don't get stressed.
If you are trying for pregnancy start taking Folic acid tablets & hope for the best.
Wish you good luck.
