The Depo-Provera shot lasts for 3 months. As soon as the 4th month hits and you do not repeat the injection you could be fertile or you may be like many other women who take up to two years or more to regain their fertility.
Some women who have already had children are finding it difficult to conceive after stopping the DP injections, others are women who went on the DP injection very young and now in their twenty's are trying to conceive for the first time and have no way of knowing if they would have had problems or not.
I would recommend having a very honest talk with your OB GYN doc before trying to conceive, at least for the first few months, as some women are experiencing miscarriages when becoming pregnant in the first few months after stopping DP.
The official web site Depo-Provera is currently down for "up dating", but I have added the link for Pfizerr the drug manufacturer and the link for DP at Web MD.
From the package insert: Return of Fertility
DEPO-PROVERA Contraceptive Injection is a long-acting birth control
it takes some time after your last injection for its effect to wear off.
results from a large study done in the United States
women who stop using D-P in order to become pregnant, (after the last injection)
The length of time you use D-P has no effect on how long it takes you to become pregnant:
50% become pregnant in about 10 months after their last injection
66% became pregnant in about 12 months after their last injection
83% become pregnant in about 15 months after their last injection
93% become pregnant in about 18 months after their last injection
Many of the women on the site I read, went on oral BCP's for a short time to kick start their ovaries, after stopping the DP injection but not ovulating for some time. Some docs seem to do this automatically when a patient stops DP.

Can you can get pregnant after only one shot?
yes you can get preganant after you only get 1 shot the shot doesnt means that pregnancy cant occur it can the chances are just very slim that you are not really likely to get pregnant while you are on the depo provera shot!!
You only had one depo shot and stopped taking the shot in october how long after can you become pregnant?
Doctors say it can take up to 18 months to get pregnant after using the shot...I took the shot only once and ended it in October just as yourself... My doctor told me to wait till March to get your period.. if ur period has not arrived in March then to go back for a pregnancy test.
How long after the shot until you can get pregnant?
i have been off it for just under 18 months and have just found out i am pregnant today :)
You only been on the depo shot for 3 months you had a period nov dec and that was it im having back pains tenderness in the breast bloating could this be the shot or pregnant?
pregnant
If you are not pregnant how can you make the pregnancy test result to become positive that is pregnant?
You can get a shot of a medicine called Human Chorionic Gonadotropin which is by prescription only and has to be injected. It will be difficult to get a reputable doctor to do it. Especially if you are trying to coerce marriage. Find someone who is happy to marry you; move on.
What are the chances of getting pregnant after being off the shot six months?
Being off the shot for that long, you are no longer protected from pregnancy.

You CAN get pregnant, but there is only about a 3% chance.
Was selena Perez pregnant when she was shot?
no she was not pregnant
Can fertile aid help me get pregnant while im on the depo shot?
I have to wonder why you'd want to get pregnant whilst taking hormonal contraception. If you're actively trying to get pregnant, ceasing to have the injection would be a step in the right direction.
Can I get pregnant after how long if I'm using nur?
For most women, it may take 3 to 18 months after the last shot to get pregnant. While some women get pregnant only after 4 months, the average time is 9 months. Women who get pregnant while using Nur may notice the following signs and symptoms
