Welcome!!
Thank you - my first and last shot was in July, so I suppose I've been lucky! I was on it years ago and it took a good year and a half to get AF back, so I'm really hoping this isn't some sort of mean joke!! Xx

Hi, I'm new & ttc no3!
I have a son who is 6 & a daughter 4, I have been on the depo ever since I had my daughter and I had my last injection in Dec 11. I didn't have any af while on depo & they only came back in August.
I am currently on cd18, and due af 27th dec, I'm not holding out much hope for a bfp this month but fingers crossed!

Hi, welcome!
Good lick, fingers crossed for your BFP! When are you gonna test? Xx

 

[Mrs sparkles]

It is so tempting to test early, I just want to know now!

My husband works offshore so he is usually away when I ovulate but he came home early for christmas this month so we had some extra bd
I might test Xmas day but I'm not due on till 27th.

I don't do any tests, but according to my calendar I ovulated around Monday/tuesday we done the deed Sunday, Monday & Tuesday
I had a lot of cm on Monday & I had really bad pain Thursday night, bad enough to wake me up at 4am lower back & cramps so don't know wether I ovulated late meaning I've probably missed it or what xxx

best of luck to you! I got my last injection in August, so I'm patiently awaiting some AF or O action! Keep us posted

Hi Amy! I didn't get my depo Nov 15th when it was do....so I guess that's when you would say I'm "off"? Anyway, I haven't had a cycle yet , but we are going to start TTC in Jan. How do you start trying without having AF...well just assume she is coming but try to head her off! lol

Both Nov and this month I'm sure I got OV pain...there is still time for me to get AF this month. We actually had a NTNP moment right before my OV pain...so I've actually been testing like crazy waiting for AF or BFP. I sure hope I don't have to go months and months and months without at least AF

Hi girls,

I'm in, coming off depo is hard work.

My cycles are still all over the place and are anywhere between 14 days and 40 days. Got got opks and bbt for the new year.

Wow esmeralda, you were on depo a really long time! Must have been nice, no AFs! lol...That was always my biggest selling point! This round I was only on depo for 6 months....I tend to start/stop depending on if I'm in a relationship. I don't remember how long it took me to get back to normal previously, because it never mattered....I wasn't trying to get pregnant. Now it matters! And I bet NOW is when my body will get all kooky! lol I bought my opks and bbt and plan starting charting in Jan too!

Hi LillyTame,

It sure was a long time, but I wasn't planning on wanting a family
The lifestyle depo gives you is great, well it was for me..... no periods, no pms etc.

I'm 38 and keep having little panics, thinking I've left it too late. Which isn't helping with the side effects of coming off depo.



Are any of you girls struggling with the depression, tantrums, crying, weight gain etc?

I've battled with depression, crying, and wanting to experiment with things I've found online It comes and goes, but I guess patience is all that's on our side.

Congrats on the extra BD I think I'm gonna test Xmas da too, just for the hell of it AF will just about be due then I guess, so no ham being a tad hopeful!!
Ouch, that doesn't sound good - I've never had O cramps, are they painful? Xx

 

[Amy89]

Hi Lilly!
You're exactly one month behind me, I was due my next injection October 15th! Pretty much, we tried to get lucky before she showed up, I know it's worked for others but I can't imagine it's common!
Esmeralda - I'm really feeling depression and weight gain at the mo, my friends say I've lost weight but I feel massive!! Never had PMS either, it's quite hard to deal with it because I didn't know to expect it, thought I was just an emotional wreck for no reason!
Xx

 

[cutieq]

you ladies are giving me hope! I have always had an irregular cycle. Couple that with coming off of Depo. I have no idea if or when AF will appear. In the meantime, we are in BD mode and hoping for a quick miracle!

 

[Wishin4Babi]

So Af is a no show today soo finger cross she stay away...
