"i had one injection in june 2012 after seeing a gp about wanting to try for a baby soon and he suggested i need to take rubella immunisation and contraceptive. he recommended depo as he suggested it has minimum impact on my body before getting pregnant because it&#039;s a progesterone only. after the visit i found out on the net that the depo shot can stop my ovulation for up to 2 years! i was a mess for a couple of month, but after 6 months i felt my cycle were coming back, and after 10 month before i even got a regular period back i fell pregnant. now we have a very healthy and happy 1.5 year old :) it is effective as a contraceptive and i&#039;m now feel happy for what happened because i had a chronic anemia before but it got better while pregnant"
