    Can switching from depo to the pills help you get pregnant sooner
    I'm on depo and was wanting to have another child what can I do to get pregnant faster I was told to take folic acid to take prenatel vitamins and was told when I get off the shot to start taking the pill

    As The Pill is yet another form of contraception this is UNLIKELY to work.

    The effects of depo can take upwards of TWO years to work through your system, so if you are Trying to conceive then you need to stop all forms of birth control..

    All in all there is NOTHING you can do to get pregnant faster, whatever that means, it's the same hit and miss affair.

    Who gave you this advice. Continuing to take birth control is not a plan to get pregnant.

    Birth Control Pills will stop you from becoming a mother if you want to be one I would say don't take anything

    However, contrary what the others have posted... the pill will bring your cycles back to regular quicker after depo than not using it at all. I tell my patients to be "patient" when coming off depo because, with the pill or not, it can take 18 months or longer before conceiving.
