This graph shows the difference in the return to fertility for nonhormonal contraceptive users and DMPA users. Nonhormonal methods do not cause a delay in return to fertility and 50% of women will conceive within 3 months of stopping method use. With DMPA, there is generally a 4 month delay in the return to fertility after stopping use; by 10 months, 50% of former users will be fertile.
