Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

Fertility will return once you've stopped using the injections, but it can take some time for your menstrual cycle and fertility to return to normal. It'll take roughly seven to 10 months for you to start ovulating. Since you've been off the shot for 14 months, your body may have had time to adjust, but it's a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider to discuss your fertility status and any steps you can take to optimize your chances of conceiving.

Thanks
