    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.

    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.
