Hi there, I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

As you might be aware that whenever depo injection is given en it works for the duration for which iy is supposed to work for.
Usually, depo I jectoon of medroxy progesterone hormone 150 mg is taken intramuscular, then it works and remains I. The body for 3 months.

As the medicine can not be taken out of body, it's contraceptive effect will last for 3 months from the date of injection. So I will suggest you to wait for 3 months from your last injection for your fertility to return.

Till then please start on Folic acid, Vitamin B 12 and Omega 3 supplements . This helps to prevent many problems during pregnancy and delivery. .

I hope this answer helps you .
Thanks.
