infertility after depo

Im trying to find out if there is a link between infertility and the depo. I came off the depo in 2011 and now I cant have a baby as my tubes are blocked??!!
I had no trouble having my other 2 children before the depo now nothing................
Has anyone else had this issue?
My cycles are bang on everey cycle just nohere for my egg or the sperm to go.......
Thanks ladies

I have heard of women taking up to three years to conceive after taking depo-provera.

How do you know your tubes are blocked have you had a HSG? They could flush your tubes with dye to make sure they are open.

Best to see a fertlity doctor

I am on the same mission as you. I was on Depo for about 4 years. Since then, I have been diagnosed with PCOS, mild endo, and have never even had a BFP. Clomid made me ovulate but still nothing. HSG showed clear tubes and Lap surgery removed cysts, endo and small lesions on my tubes. Currently down reg for IVF#1. I am considering finding a lawyer though because I have found numerous studies that link Depo to infertility..... Good luck to you!!


Me - 22 DH - 26 DH = perfectly normal Me = PCOS, Mild Endo TTC since 2011 (Married Young) Saw RE August 2013 Clomid Cycle #1 100mg- no O Clomid Cycle and IUI #2 150mg- O but weak Clomid Cycle and IUI #3 200mg- Stong O BFN Clomid Cycle and IUI #4&5 200mg- Strong O BFN HSG Janurary 2014 = very slight bicorniate uterus but open tubes. Last Clomid Cycle 200mg and IUI = No O :( Lap Surgery Feb 20th, 2014 = Removal of 22 cysts, mild endo and tubal lesions. No Natural Ovulation. 03/17/2014 Started Lupron for IVF #1 Took Provera to induce AF... Still missing. :(
