Does the Depo-Provera injection increase the chances of becoming infertile?

Depo-Provera does not increase the chances of becoming infertile in the long term. After stopping the injection, fertility may take several weeks or even months to return in some cases. It is a highly effective form of contraception, but not a good choice for those wanting to conceive in the short term. It is important to note that no contraception (except for tubal ligation) makes someone sterile or decreases fertility in the long term. Age, especially after 35 years old, is a significant factor in the decrease of female fertility.
