    Question

    My period stopped because of the depo. I stopped the shot in August and this is April. Can I get pregnant even though I have no period?

    Answer

    Your cycles (and therefore menses) may be irregular up to a year and half after the last Depo shot given. Yes, you can still become pregnant even without a period because you may ovulate and not realize it.
