Im trying to have my second baby. Been on the depo shot for 5 yrs, stop taking it 2 months ago. Ive only had to tiny drops of blood since. I have side effects that I could be pregnant such as weight gain, tenderness etc. every test I take comes up negative. Ive looked this up online and now I've become depressed knowing I may not become pregnant and if I do it's a sure miscarriage. What can I do to regulate my period and be a healthy pregnant women.

It can take as long as 18 months for the side effects of depo to wear off before pregnancy is a possibility.

Also, even if you were never on depo, 2 months is a very short time of actively trying before conceiving. It can take the average healthy couple up to a year of trying before becoming pregnant.
