Question
Hello! My name is Erica and my husband and I are finally ready to have a baby!

BUT... 2 years ago in Nov 2009. I had gotten the Shot, I was om the shot untill feb 2010. My period still isnt regualr yet. it comes about every 3 to 5 months. is it to soon to get pregnant? We have been trying since Feb of this year. and still have yet to become pregnant!

  Could we be doing it wrong?

Answer
Sometimes it takes a while to establish regular ovulation after going off the depo shot.  Irregular periods usually mean no ovulation, or infrequent ovulation.  I would recommend seeing your doctor, who can give you clomid pills to take each month to help ovulation.  Until you start ovulating every month, pregnancy is not very likely.  Good luck.
