Answer:
I have been on the depo shot since 2003 and now 2005 me and my husband have decided to have another child, and the doctor told me it can take up to a year or more to get pregnant. She said you have to let the needle wear off which can take up to 9 months or more I'm finding it extremly difficult to get pregnant now, when with my son i got pregnant within a month. The depo needle is definitely not something a woman should take if she plans on having kids, take this needle when your done having children, and it does have side effects which follow you around. Since i been off the needle i have been having cramps in my arms, headaches, and i feel sick at times. My doctor also told me that it is most best to wait until you get your period back after the shot, and i did read in something, but i can't match where, but if you take folic acid it can help really regulate your body before and after pregnancy. Hope this helps you out a bit and good luck!
