[shazza10]

i have just come off depo after 12 years my last injection woz due on 3rd march but i havent had it as i want to start a family just worried how long it will take as ive not had period for 12 years can anybody help

I came off depo after a year and it took 6 months for my periods to come back. normal fertility can sometimes return as soon as a month, but sometimes it can take up to a year. it all depends on your body but it is wise to go to a doctor if your period does not return after 9 months. good luck!

I was on the depo for 10 years and it took 6 months for my cycle to return to normal. I'm now expecting my first child in September. Best advice is to relax and the body will sort its self out.

i want to say thank u for the advice it means alot am just worried it will take years just want one now i have started taking folic acid as i have spoken to the doc good luck with everything do u have to get ur 1st period back or can you just carry on trying for a baby

I waited for my cycle to regulate before trying, i wanted to be sure that everything was functioning correctly. I too was desparate to start trying but i think you have to be patient, your time will come. Good luck
