Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

After stopping the depo shot it will take some time for reception of the ovulation and menstruation may get ovulation immediately after stopping the Repo that is in around 2 weeks but sometimes it may get late. If you are not sure of your dates please go for Urine Pregnancy Test 3 weeks after last unprotected intercourse. If the test is negative, you can go for withdrawal bleeding by taking tablets with your doctor's advice. After you get withdrawal bleeding you can take tablets for ovulation induction from second day of your period and follow with follicular study from 11th day and plan unprotected intercourse around the time of ovulation this will increase the possibility of pregnancy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
