For women stopping the pill at the end of a pack, ovulation usually returns two to four weeks after stopping the pill. If your periods were irregular before you started the pill, they will likely return to their irregular pattern. If you stopped the pill in the middle of the pack, you could ovulate much sooner. That's because the pill-free or placebo week, in some women, can be long enough for the ovulation process to start. If you're one of those women, and then you stop the pill a few days into the cycle, you could ovulate very soon -- even before you get your first post-pill period or withdrawal bleeding.

You will not ovulate when on depo shot.
Hello ladies. I am 18 years old and I started the depo provera when I was 16( August 2010). I was in a relationship with my boyfriend of 2 years, and is still currently in it. It was the worse experience ever, and it damaged me for life. I took the shot, in order to protect me from getting pregnant, and also to gain some extra weight. My doctor said it was the best Birth Control out, and the only side effect was that I may not have a period. Little did I know, there was more to the story. I took the shot ONCE ! Once on it, my normal period started and never finished. I had my period for a whole year straight. luckily my boyfriend was understanding, and barely argued with me about having intercourse. Every time I went in too the doctors they said it was normal, and put me on more birth control pills. I went into the emergency room and they referred me to a GYN. My Gyn then gave me loestrin 21 which helped with my period, but was very costy. Because it was $50 every month I couldnt afford it every time. So that meant a heavier period when ever i missed a pill. Finally after a whole year, my period became somewhat normal (August 2011 ). I get it once a month but every month i get it 3 days earlier. After the depo You wont be able to get pregnant, and if you do, then your lucky. I am young, but honestly I tried conceiving three times once my period became normal. I did plenty of research, and got the same bad news over and over again. Every time I see my period I cry, because its just a reminder that i can't experience " motherhood ". Please before you go on the Depo shot, think about the consequence. If you want children and one day start a family DO NOT go on the shot. The pain I deal with every day is horrible. The depo took so much from me, and i regret it !
Actually, I am a witness that you can get pregnant once getting off the depo. Depending on how long you were on it will decide whether it will take a while or not. I was on the depo for three years and it only took me a about a month or two to get pregnant with my second child. Trust me, depo provera does not ruin your life. I am actually back on it.
A woman who stops Depo Provera may ovulate immediately after stopping, or it may take up to 18 months. The average is 11 months. Take a pregnancy test if you may be at risk for pregnancy.
After stopping the copper IUD, you'll ovulate on your usual schedule, as the copper IUD does not change your cycle. After stopping the hormonal IUD, you'll ovulate in four to six weeks.
