Can you get pregnant before you get your period after stopping depo?
My last shot of Depo was Sept 2009, it is now June 2010. I have not had my period yet, but I was wondering if you can get pregnant before you get your cycles back? Please help

Yes... because ovulation happens before a period in your menstrual cycle. It is not uncommon for women to find it takes quite some time before their cycles get back to normal after coming off Depo. Some women will have a return in just a couple of months... others will find it takes over a year.
If you are hoping to become pregnant, you could speak to your doctor about possibly helping you get periods going again. Birth control pills will sometimes be used for this, which sounds as though it would be going against the plan of pregnancy, but they can sometimes help your body regulate hormones again. Once this occurs, you would stop the birth control pills to try for a pregnancy.

So how would I tell if I was pregnant if I am not getting my period? I am not really trying yet, but want to sooner or later.

You would possibly become aware of other possible symptoms... increased urination, being more tired than usual, more vaginal discharge, tender breasts, nausea, etc..
