Hi,
Welcome to XXXXXXX
I am not aware of anything that can reverse Depo at once.
The injection cannot be immediately reversed once it has been given. It can be reversed, after a time delay. Delay in the return to fertility. It may about six months after an injection for fertility to return this is one of the disadvantage of the depo.
Many people do become pregnant within 2 to 3 months of stopping the depo.
Mean while you can take pregnacare and hope for the best. You have to try and be successful in getting pregnant.
Hope I have provided the information you needed.
Wish you good health. Take care.
