Official Depo Thread

All of our families know that we are. In fact my sister-in-law and I have a bet for whoever gets knocked up first. She has been TTC #2 since before I met my husband (about 3 years). Her daughter is 7. After she was born they had him snipped and then reversed it so I am not sure if that is affecting them at all. She went to the dr this week and her dr said she has been missing the O every month. I would have been extremely ticked off if my dr has said that after 3 years. She is on some pills for 3 months to try something else. If she isn't prego in 6 months her doctor is going to refer her to mine (who is a specialist) and that is all her dr can do. I chose that dr as my regular dr b/c of his speciality and I didn't want to worry about having to change drs if we do have problems.

i have convinced my family especially my mum that i dont want children that much that she has recided to the fact that she will not be a nanny again, hope i have not jinxed myself lol. I just cant wait to tell her but as soon as i do tell her the whole world will know

You've been off depo for 2 years longer than I have. Not sure if April was your last injection or January. How long have you officially been TTC that you have been referred to a fertility clinic?

Edit: I missed that you were on the implant for a year.

i came of depo in april 08 but had implanon in for a year.
i had one friend saying come of it, it will take at least a year to get pg, another friend said dont do it yet if you are not ready as i caught pg straight away, wished i listened to the first friend but you never know these thing do you.
Had implant out mar 09 and been trying ever since. Been to gp today as i only had a 13 day cycle this month and we decided that if we had no luck this cycle we would visit our gp. He has refered me to a fertilty clinic and whilst i am waiting for that to come through i have to have blood test on cd 21.

That makes sense. From what I have read I don't think you O when you only have a 13 day cycle. What is your normal cycle?

it has been quite regular at 29-31 days but every 3 months or so i get a 13 day one

Very odd

really dissapointed this month with it we alot and then right when i think i should have ov the witch came back, at first i thought it might be ov bleeding but i think its too heavy and lasted too long

Hopefully the fertility clinic can jump start your BFP!

Time on depo: ~11 years
End date: May 2010 (last shot)
Time it took AF to come back: September 2010
Time it took to regulate: not sure yet
bfp: never

Yay! A Depo Thread!

I had regular, normal cycles prior to going on the shot back in 1998. I took a year long break in 2006 but went back on when I needed BC again. I had never used any other kind of BC before when I had my last shot in May 2010, just prior to getting married.

My doctor put me on 3 months of Trinessa (generic Ortho-TriCyclen) to get me regulated immediately after the shot expired. I had a very light period each of those 3 months. We started TTC the 7th month after my last shot (November 2010). I had another light period on schedule 28 days after stopping the pill and was relieved that my body appeared to be working. To my surprise, I started bleeding again roughly 2 weeks later (early/mid December) and had what seemed to be the heaviest AF yet since coming off Depo. I wonder if that was my "real" cycle reasserting itself against the "fake" cycle created by the Trinessa. Assuming a 28 day cycle, I should be due again on Jan 10, but would of course prefer a BFP! We'll see!

Good Luck and Baby Dust to everyone!
