My doctor told me once you come off of the shot it can stay in your system for a long time and it may take a while to conceive but it's differnt for everyone..my sister got pregnant on depo. I've always been on the pill and it worked for me. Just recently got on the patch after not being on anything for a while. I literally just started it Monday so far no complaints. I've heard it doesn't stick well but mine is still stuck really good and it's been a while

I will be sure to ask the Dr about these things I go on the 5th

I asked my doctor about the fertility issue with the depo and he said its not true and that there is no real research behind it. Like I said I was on it a long time, got pregnant right away with my first even though it was an oops and it took 17 months for my second because we didnt track everything. Either way a healthy couple only has a 20% chance of pregnancy every month. I love the depo though and made sure i got all the facts before i got on it

do you know of any bad side effects of the patch

@candybear1818, I understand :) get what you think is best for you because everyone's different

@carlitojrmami I heard that too that's why I am afraid to get the deposit I want more kids just not at this moment in time

I was on the depo for 3 years it was good for Me but I stopped because it says that it can mess with fertility if taken too long so after that I got on the patch and the patched worked great I never got pregnant on the depo or patch .

I have always been on the depo with no issues and no period while on it. but just like any other birth control its different for everyone. I have been on the depo on and off since I was 14 (almost 31 now) and got pregnant after getting off of it 2 times

I don't want nothing inserted in my body. also would it of wolves if you took it everyday at the same time?

I had the pill and got pregnant on it. I couldn't remember to take it at the same time every day, though. I have the Nexplanon right now and have no issues with it yet (rod in the arm). There's the Depo shot in the butt. And there's the IUD implant in the uterus
