Official Depo Thread

Thanks! Here's my info:

Time on depo: 9 years
End date: 2009 (last shot)
Time it took AF to come back: very next month
Time it took to regulate: very next month
bfp: not yet! Trying for 4th cycle

Winter snow you sound like your cycles are on the same schedule as mine. Hope we both get our BFPs soon!

Hi glad to join the site!

Last shot of Depo May 2010
Regular AF : Just started my first period.
BFP: Not yet but hoping!


Can't wait till we start getting pregger. :-) Using OPK and Vitex

I was all excited this morning but I got my first of 2011.

I am reading thru the old "official" forum looking at how many of them got prego and I am encouraged that Kiki either had her last injection or it ended the the same month that I got my last shot and she is now prego.

not trying to damn your hope hun but it does not matter when yours or hers last jab was it all depends on YOUR body and how it reacts to being off DEPO as a fit and healthy 19 year old with a healthy BMI it took me 1 year, yet ive none 1 person to get pregnant ON the depo and some to fall pregnant straight after they came off and others 2/3 years down the line still trying.. its all about your body.

I know just because they are doesn't mean I will but I still am not going to stop trying. My cycles actually sound much more regular than hers will so it's at least encouraging to know it's possible.

I read online that 68 percent of women will get pregnant after 12 months, 83 percent after 15 months and 93 percent after 18 months. If that give you girls any hope.

Do you think that's from the last shot or 3 months after?

I found your statistics and they are from the date of the last shot which is better.

Depo Provera has a prolonged contraceptive effect. Due to this, Pfizer recommends that a woman stop her Depo Provera injections one year before she wishes to become pregnant. This is because it takes an average of 9 to 10 months (sometimes more than a year) to regain fertility and begin ovulating after receiving your last Depo Provera shot. In a large US study of women who discontinued Depo Provera to become pregnant, (based on Life-Table analysis of these data), it is expected that 68% of women who do become pregnant may conceive within 12 months, 83% may conceive within 15 months, and 93% may conceive within 18 months from the last injection. This Depo Provera side effect can occur regardless to the amount of time you have been using this method.

And you missed that it's within so many months not after. That makes a huge difference.

It's definitely possible sheryl!! My fingers are crossed for you! And for all you ladies! xx
