Dear member,
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
The return to fertility is delayed after depot preparation compared to other contraception. After a year if you have not conceived then you will need detailed infertility analysis and your partner semen analysis.
Usually most patients conceive in a year. Use ovulation detector kits from day 12 of cycle for 3-4 consecutive days
Thus timed intercourse can give better success.
Thanks
