best thing to do is not to worry or stress yourself out over it...just relax, let nature take its course, and best of all enjoy all the practice.... you will get there im sure.

I too was in a similar situation and after being on the depo for 11 years it took about 6 months for my cycle to return to normal. After that i started trying for a baby and it took around 3/4 months to fall pregnant. I'm expecting the little one on the 20th September. I would say that you need to be patient and it will all fall into place. I know its easier said than done and when you feel your body clock ticking (i'm 34) sometime you can't help but feel anxious. You could also try ovulation tests when you feel your cycle becoming regular. I hope it all goes well for you.

I'm told it can take up to a year after coming off the injection, before periods are back to normal.

As such, I wouldn't be suprised that after 5 months your periods aren't back to normal. as to your fertility when you do have periods (all be they irregular) maybe ask your doc/family planner. this website says that it can take up to 15 months to conceive after coming off.
