It took us about a week of NTNP before we realized that what we were doing was really trying. Had one depo shot 10/12, thinking we wouldn't want to try for quite a while... by 03/13, we decided we were ready. Wish I'd known that ahead of time! There were 5 days in the entire month of April where I wasn't bleeding heavily (went to two doctors, have another appointment this week week- all just saying depo side effects 6 months later... Thankfully it suddenly stopped on the first of May! fingers crossed I'm getting closer to normal.)
