Hi there, I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.
As you have stopped taking depo injections and also you have started getting regular cycles, it is for sure that you have resumed your fertile ability.
As you might be aware that in a woman with regular cycles day 10 to 20 of the cycle is the most fertile period of cycle. If you have unprotected sex act in the fertile period of cycle, then you stand chance to get pregnant. At least try to have unprotected sex act on alternate days in this period.
If you happen to get your cycles after following this advice then please get post menstrual HSG - hysterosalpingography done, to know the patency of the fallopian tubes. Husband's semen analysis after 4 days of abstinence period, to know about quality and quantity of sperms.
You can get ovulation study on USG from day 10 of the cycle , to know about the day of ovulation. You can simply opt for unprotected sex act on and around the day of ovulation, or opt for IUI - intrauterine insemination, on the day of ovulation.
Please opt for a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen. Start on Folic acid, Vitamin B 12 and Omega 3 supplements at least 3 months before you plan to get pregnant. This helps to prevent many problems during pregnancy and delivery.
Please be patient.
Think positive. All things will be fine in the due course of time.
May God bless you with a bundle of joy.
I hope this answer helps you. . Thanks.
