Irregular Periods Post-Birth Control Causes and Infertility?
Patient Query

Hello Doctor,

I was on Depo Provera for two years, stopped it two years ago, and haven't had regular periods. Experienced a month-long period, needed meds to stop it. My husband and I want to conceive, but I'm unsure about the irregular cycles. What could be causing this, and what steps should we take?
