Can depoprovera have an impact on the fertility rate? Even after the 2 years to regain full fertility?

Question

I've been taking depoprovera for over two years and the girls who take it are so rare that I'm afraid that when I stop taking it it will have an issue on my fertility because I plan to stop it in 3 years so is it that the longer I take it the longer there is a risk of decreased fertility? And is 6 years on depoprovera too long and can be harmful to my health?

Hello Ma'am, Depo Provera is an old drug, so there is a good level of knowledge about it. Please be aware that the data we currently have does not point to a decrease in fertility, even after several years of continuous use. So there is no need to worry :) Furthermore, you should know that women who take the birth control pill continuously also do not have a decrease in fertility. Good day, Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
