Hi welcome to healthcaremagic.
I have gone through your question.
Depo shot prevents pregnancy for 12-14 weeks.
After that time period if not conceiving then i would suggest reports for you
1. Ovulation profile
2. Thyroid profile
3. Histosalpingography HSG
To rule out any pathology.
Make confirm your partner s semen report is ok.
Hope i answered your question.
Would be happy to help you further.
Take care.
