Official Depo Thread

i specifically asked my dr he said my fertiltity wouldnt be affected.i could get pregnant after my shot was due. i was ttc 2.5yrs and feel depo is great for some people but i felt it gave me nothing but hell and misery

Good morning, ladies! I went to my RE Tuesday and she put me on Estrace 2mg 2 x's a day TRYING to jump start some sort of cycle. She said that the ONLY time she prescribes depo provera is when she has a patient with endometriosis and they are finished with having children because of the fertility issues it DOES cause. Wish my OBGYN would have said that a long time ago!!! Keeping my fx's in hopes that this medicine works!

It really depends on the person. There are people out there who were late getting their shot and ended up pregnant, and there are people who take 2.5 years or longer to conceive. Like any medication, it affects everyone differently, that's why there are many options.

Best of luck to you on the new meds, Mom2Morgan.

i ended up pregnant and wasnt late for my shot but miscarried at 5 weeks. Everyones bodies are different and while i know there are so many people who depo works great for, I only wish I had been one of them. Had the miscarriage in 2009, last depo shot later in 2009, sposed to ware off march 2010 n hasnt. I thought it was a godsend until it messed with me. i love that depo works for some coz it is so convenient but hates what it does to others, as i know from my own experience. x

True, there is many options out there but when they tell of different options they should tell ALL the facts not "sugar coat" it and when a patient asks questions, the doctors should be honest about it.

Hey ladies, so after coming off injection end of March I had slight spotting and brown discharge a few days ago! Thought it was start of period but not so sure. Going to test next week to see if there is any chance I may get a BFP!

How is everyone? X

Hey Vonnie! FXD you do get a BFP, some people depo wears off real quick for, hopefully you'll be one of them!
I'm frustrated as had 1st hol in years last month n took norethisterone for a week to avoid AF going on hol with me-at the appt i asked for the tablets, i also asked for further investigation re fertility as is over 2 years BC free now -that particular doctor didnt tell me what a diff doc told me last week, that even though i only took it for a week, it could add an extra 6 months on to my ttc time and low and behold no AF this month so cycles messed up.
But hey, got to arrange house move in next few months so gonna focus on that instead while me lady parts re-organise themselves What date you testing? x

Gnome -- the code in your signature is the wrong type. The one you want is under Signature: PseudoHTML, UBBCode and BB Code on Lilypie.

I can't believe it but after 22 months of ttc after depo I am finally pregant. Doc office just called back to tell me blood test was positive. I got a very slight positive yesterday 14dpo.
