Hi Emma, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.  Demo contraceptive being a long acting contraceptive . Provides long time supply of hormones to suppress child bearing.  On discontinuation, it takes 4-6 months for regaining normal menstrual cycle.  Very rarely in causes a long-standing menstrual problem...it's not a regular feature of the contraceptive. So don't be scared.  So waiting period for conception is about 4 to 6 months.  Thanks.
