First cycle TTC after Depo buddies? - Page 20

Krys89Davis · Feb 5th, 2013, 10:54 AM

Yeah that's kinda what I was thinking. I have the ff app and the last two days were green whick means I'm supposedly fertile. My only concern is the fact that I haven't had a full blown AF since I was due for my last injection on Dec. 5th. All I have done was spotted for a few days 2 weeks after depo was due. Thanks for your input

It is kinda tricky to feel like something is possibly happening till that first AF, and really frustrating for you. But it is all good, cause it is showing recovery and recovery means babies.

So true..

Ok so I'm feeling kinda crampy on my right side. Not real sure of the source since I haven't had anything happen as of yet. I have been considering getting a home fertility test...any opinions on this matter?

Yes please do, it will be interesting to hear what he has said. Good luck x

I went to the doctor and he checked my CM. He said that my CM was pretty nonexistent (thanks to FF app, I know that these are my normally dry days). He said that everything "felt" ok from his exam. They took my blood to test my hormone levels and estrogen. If the estrogen levels come back high enough, he suggested putting me on a oral contraception for a couple of months to bring AF back. He did explain that this is a more aggressive method. The alternative would just be to wait for things to happen naturally. My husband is leaning towards the more aggressive method, but I'm not so sure. It just feels counterproductive to me to get back on BC. The doc explained that the oral would be out of my body in a week or so, unlike this devilish Depo. Blood work and estrogen should take a few days to come back, so I'll have to decide then. Any thoughts on oral contraception or not??

Hey cutieq, I was considering going to my Dr. And asking her to start me on the pill to restart things faster. I have heard that it works really well. Also I haven't heard of any issues about the pill staying in your system. I missed 2 days and got preggers with my 3year old daughter. But I would go with whatever feels right for you. Good luck Hun.

well the doctor called back. he said everything looks normal, but the estrogen levels are still low, which means my ovaries aren't really doing their job and the Depo is still in there. He wants me to wait a few more months then come back for testing. I think I'll just let nature take its course because the rollercoaster of emotions is exhausting

Hi ladies

Krys, I heard the same and if I don't get a pos OPK this cycle I think I'm gonna ask my doc about it..
Cutieq, I totally get what you mean about it being exhausting! Who'd have thought it'd be this difficult!

Amy89 · Feb 9th, 2013, 08:06 AM

Oh, I have a question. Can you use FF without temping?

Yes hon! I've been using it for the last few months, it's only this cycle I've been temping and hating it.
