While I have heard that being on Depo Provera stalls conceiving, I had the opposite problem. I got off the shot to switch to a new birth control and I got pregnant in 3 weeks...WITH TWINS!!! I was under the impression that it would take awhile to get pregnant and I didn't have to worry about it. I WAS WRONG!! Of course fertility is different for every woman,but don't just blame the shot if you are not getting pregnant. Check EVERYTHING

Wow - well, congratulations. This is rare, and one thing the Depo shot does is unbalance the hormones - I suppose with you it worked in the opposite direction! I suppose you could blame the Depo shot on your ovulating TWICE!

In any case, I hope it all works out for you!

Well, the same happened to one of my friends, she missed her injection by 3 days & ended up with twins too.

But I am still battling 14 months later. Not fair!!
