Hi there,

Fertility can sometimes be delayed after being on the Depo injection, but usually this is after being on this for 1-2 years . However, even after being on Depo for a very long time you couldn’t be absolutely sure you wouldn’t get pregnant straight away. After having only one injection it is very unlikely that your fertility would be affected, so if you don’t want to get pregnant, you should use another method of contraception immediately after stopping the injections.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,

Katherine
