yes Although, just because the Depo is out of your system and you are menstruating it does not mean you are fertile. Sometimes it does, but in the case of needing ovulation to conceive your best bet is to consider yourself "able to become pregnant" when you have ovulated. Again, this isn't necessarily true for every woman because all women are different.
Depo Provera is cleared from a woman's body about 6 to 8 months after her last injection.
Birth Control is a funny thing and every woman's body is different. Having this period might not necessarily mean the depo is out of your system. If you're trying to get pregnant, it may take some time to conceive after being on the depo but keep trying. Some women get pregnant right away after stopping the shot, others may take a while. If you're worried about having another form of birth control to prevent becoming pregnant and are trying to transition, don't take your chances by having unprotected sex as there is the possibility you might not have the depo on board anymore.

∙ 10y agoThe bleeding that some women have on Depo Provera is not a period; it's a side effect of the thinning of the lining caused by the shot. When you stop the shot and it starts to leave your body, that side effect bleeding is likely to stop. Your period restarting is a separate issue; your regular period may start right after the next shot is due, or it may start up to 18 months later. The average is eleven months.

∙ 9y agoYou may have brown spotting while on Depo-Provera, but it's not a period but a side effect. (A period is the result of ovulation and the subsequent sheeding of the uterine lining. When you're on Depo Provera, you don't ovulate.)

It's different for everyone.You may bleed immediately after you stop using Depo, although this doesn't mean that it's menstruation - to menstruate you'd have to first ovulate, but you may experience vaginal bleeding as a result of hormonal imbalance while your body returns to normal. It can take up to twelve months for your menstrual cycles to return to normal.
I didn't get the depoprovera shot in February 2009 no period since now my breast hurt as if I were pregnant preg test came back neg what are the chances of pregnancy?
Hi, sore breasts are a sign of hormonal changes and could be a sign that you are about to get a period. my last depo was July 2008. For around 2 weeks in the summer (2009) I had really sore and heavy breasts, then started a period. It's one sign your body is returning to its normal cycle. If a pregnancy test was negative it's unlikely you're pregnant. if you don't get a period soon and your breasts are still sore, take another test or go see the practice nurse at your local surgery to be safe and get peace of mind!

The Depoprovera injection is a very reliable form of birth control. However, when planning on eventually conceiving a child, this will all depend on how long you have been on Depoprovera. Usage time of 1 - 3 years, expect a wait time of your cycle returning to normal atleast 6 to 12 months. 3 - 6 years 12 to 18 months etc... Nowadays, many ob/gyns limit the time you can remain on the injection unless you are very persistent and trouble/symption free.
