Want to get pregnant after getting off the Depo shot for birth control?

What is the best way to get pregnant after Depo?

After the Depo Provera shot? Go on the Pill.

I said I want to make a baby, not prevent one.

The birth control pill forces your body to get back into its cycle. You'll ovulate and have periods on the Pill, while Depo usually stops it.

How long do I have to be on the Pill?

One or two cycles should work. Then stop the Pill and try to get pregnant.

What else would work?

There's the natural alternative.

What's that?

Have sex at least twice a week every week for a year after the shot wears off. You should naturally get pregnant at some point unless there is something wrong.

You make it sound so simple and straightforward.

You don't have to be straightforward. Almost any position will work.

Can they reverse the shot?

Nope. If you got the shot, it is in effect for the full three months.

Can I get pregnant when it wears off?

Theoretically, you can get pregnant the next cycle after the 90 days after the last shot. Though some women need another month or two before they start ovulating again.

It's suppressing your fertility.

It's a contraceptive. That is what it is supposed to do.

Is there any way to speed things up or accelerate the process?

You could get on a healthy diet now, start prenatal vitamins and prepare your body for pregnancy.

That is prep-work but not going to result in pregnancy.

Start taking Mexican yam supplements or eating lots of soy. That is said to help fertility.

Or I could just start buying fertility charms.

Save money and pray at the feet of various fertility gods. It'd make an interesting honeymoon for your hubby, too.

Why would he go?

To practice fertility rites, of course. Unless you're hoping for a virgin birth, though that's only happened once.
