CD 1 (I think) After Dreaded Depo

[kellysays2u]

So I know I should actually be relieved and excited to be thinking I am actually even getting and AF this soon after depo (it has been a month and a half since it wore off) but I know that even with actually getting an AF after depo it doesn't mean your ovulating and doesn't mean it will be regular... I have an appt with my midwife (a US midwife that is) to go over some things and she said she would talk to me about different things I could do to keep AF regular and to make sure I ovulate without hormones which I am so excited for. But I think this does mean I will start temping today well technically tomorrow. Can anyone give me some pointers on that? My daughter was conceived on birth control pills so I know NOTHING besides what I have read. I believed it said it had to be FIRST thing in the morning no moving or talking besides grabbing the thermometer and has to be the same time every day. Is that all? I am going to get a fertility friend account once I have a couple days recorded and get into the swing on things so hopefully that will help.

Another question. So I know EWCM means you are trying/are ovulating. What does it mean if I get that like.... VERY OFTEN (even while on Depo). Do you think its just my body trying to ovulate even though I was on the depo? I had the mirena awhile back too and that was the same way I had EWCM at least once a month... I know so many people talk about never seeing it but is it bad if you seem to have an abundance?

Depo sucks it is the worst ever. Evil. I wish my Dr had warned me before she just shot, shot away into my arm.
Gained 20lbs faster than I thought possible, lost total sex drive...took that a LONG time to come back....and not to mention the things I have heard about p0ossible impact on fertility. I hate depo, and I resent my old dr for not warning me about the side effects before she injected me.
I've been off depo for 2 years now, but I still hate it.

I know exactly what you mean. I hate hate hate it and I only had one shot. I was warned about nothing really but not having a period. I definitely had a FULL period thank goodness though so hoping it goes soon and doesn't come back for 28 days or longer if my body wants to give me a bfp!

I was on the depo for nearly 10 years. It ran out in April this year, my period returned after 7 weeks. After 2 cycles I became regular and was pregnant by September. Unfortunatly this ended in a miscarriage. My period returned straight after m/c and I ovulated yesterday.
So I would start temping straight away, it took me a while to get into the routine of it so at least when you do become regular, temping will be second nature to you. Good luck x
