"started depo when i was 18, never had a period after, stopped taking it when i was 24 to start a family.  it took 4 months for menstruation to start again and only 3 months after that to conceive.   after pregnancy i was put back on, got 3 series of shots before we wanted another baby(no period in between).  only took a month for my period to return and another month after that to conceive. also, after this pregnancy i started the depo again. i was 6 weeks postpartum and got the shot while on my 4th day on my period, (which usually lasted 7 days) the next day my period stopped. it is my go to form of birth control!"
