How Does the Depo Shot Affect Pregnancy After 5 Years?

I have been on depo for the last 5yrs, but my period doesn't come at all, if l remember. It only came once this year. The problem is - can l get pregnant because I have stopped taking depo? l decided to stop because l wanted to receive my period before l continued. I don't need a baby right now.

Thank you so much Doc😭 I was beginning to be paranoid because I’m turning 26 this year and I had been using ‘Nelstrate’ (forgive my spelling) for the past 5+ and I had stopped taking it about 6months ago but I haven’t gotten my period yet.

I got a scare from some lady who told me that after 5+ of using Depo, she was told that her eggs were finished so that really scared me.
