Official Depo Thread

[lesleyann]

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.

oh i no that hun i just did not want you to think that because she has you will like this month or what ever and be totally down if it does not happen

This month is going to be crazy. My DH and I are going out of town on Friday because he has a pre-screen test for a new job. He really needs to get out of his current situation after being there for 12 years. I had LEEP in October so my first follow-up pap is going to be next Friday. I was actually not supposed to get prego before it so it's good that I didn't. I am glad I was able to schedule b/c I don't want to miss another month. And then we are going to try month 1 with Pre-Seed and the SMEP. Keeping FX but if it doesn't work out this month it's ok. There's always next month.

Sheryl- whatever gives you hope and keeps you going, use it ! We all gotta keep our chins up and just keep trying
Hopefully SMEP and Preseed work for you, those are my plans as well whenever I start going longer than two weeks without af

 

[sherylb]

Sorry you're having so many AFs. I hate having a 26 day cycle aside from that we are at least TTC after not having an AF for so many years.

Time on depo:- 3 months (1 shot)
End date:June '10
Time it took AF to return: i bled the entire time I was on the shot
Time Af took to regulate:6 months

My doctor gave it to me to stop period completely since mine were happening frequently, and instead it had the opposite effect--i bled continuously for about 121 days.

Things were pretty irregular after that but i'm happy to announce i'm now totally regular and my periods are like clockwork!

Now if only I can catch a sticky egg!

I added you to the game Giggles.

I wonder how many people post here on BnB before they even have time to tell their families their news. If I could keep a secret I think I may not tell my family until I am like 2 months or in the 2nd trimester just in case something happens.

 

[bw9522]

my friend kept it from everyone until she had her 1st scan.
Myself would proberbly shouting it from the roof tops

 

[sherylb]

I have to be one of the worst ever at keeping secrets. I can only do it if I really focus on something else.

 

[bw9522]

i know what you mean, i think to myself i would not want to tell noone as none our families know we ar ttc but i KNOW that i will be too excited to keep it to myself lol

 

[sherylb]

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.

 

[bw9522]

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

 

[sherylb]

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.

 

[bw9522]

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.

 

[sherylb]

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?

 

[bw9522]

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

 

[sherylb]

Very odd

 

[bw9522]

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

 

[sherylb]

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!
