What Are The Chances Of Conceiving After Depo Shots?

I have been on Depo- Provera for almost 2 years. Last month was my last shot. My Hubby and I are going to try to become pregnant between now & July ... is it possible to even conceive after that short amount of time? We have a son - Jack who is 7 and would like to try for one more. If I have not already conceived by mid July I am getting my tubs tied. We are already in our early 30 s and I do not wish to keep trying more than 5/6 months. Any help would be great. Thanks A Million from Sandy in NYC

Hi,

I think you can try for pregnancy with some medical support as ovulation is delayed after using depoprovera for long. You can take medicine for the growth of your eggs and when egg matures to more than 17 mm you can take an injection for rupture. Then be in contact with your husband for next 2 to 3 days. Take some progesterone for next 2 weeks after rupture. You can try this for 3 months. After that you can go for IUI for next 3 months.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Khushboo Priya
