So, I did my first OPK today even though AF is just around the corner, anywhere from 4-5 days. I just wanted to do one.. I had a positive OPK which I though was weird, so I decided to take one again two or three hours later and it was negative.. I got anxious today and took a hpt test. it could be early, but I doubt it so I went and ordered pre-seed, should be here on fifth right when af supposed to leave so we'll see! wish me luck! I've been ttc exactly 1 year today...

Good luck hun! Hopefully you don't even need the PreSeed I have an unopened box as we were gonna try it next cycle xxx

LOL. I have a huge stash of feminine products that I got to prepare and haven't touched. It's a good feeling.

So has anyone tried the hcg diet? I'm going to start on the 4th. I really need to lose 40 lbs and my doctor recommended this diet. He said after injecting hcg my pregnancy test will be invalid since they'd all turn up positive. Might POAS just to see if the darn things work.

sounds dodgy to me

I have heard about it on the radio. If the doctor recommends it I assume they know what they are talking about.

 

[midnightrose8]

It's definitly controversial but a lot of diets are. I'm willing to give it 40 days under a doctor's supervision. I really want to have a healthy pregnancy. I'm super worried that I'll get gestational diabeties with the weight I am or have weight related complecations. I guess no ones been on it. I'll let you know how it goes.

I am going to post my experience in some of the DEPO threads in case there are others like me.

I was on DEPO for 7 years. I was off for 8 months without a period. I took BCP's to jump start my period in March (period on April 6th) and confirmed pregnant on July 31st.

I encourage BCP's and maybe it won't take a year or two to conceive!

Thanks for your positive story. I was on depo for 7 years too and AF came back around 8 months after my last shot. I have had 8 months of periods so I hope I get a BFP soon

 

[midnightrose8]

sarahtia, my best bet would be to buy some internet cheapies. You can get about a hundred on ebay for 25 dollars. Start testing every day. It will save you a lot of money on checking to see if your ovulating. Also check your cervical mucus and see if you have any clear egg like quality. If you can bbt will also help, some of the girls on here have charts so you can see what it looks like after you ovulate. Good luck.

Morning! Do you mind if I join??

Time on depo: 2 and a half to 3 years
End date: Feb 2009
Time it took af to come back: Sept 2009
Time it took to regulate: Dec 2009
BFP: Never

So glad I found this group. I was on the pill for 10 years but it caused me to have terrible migraines, so in 2006 dr suggested I switch to depo. At first I loved it, migraines improved and no af! Had I known a) how desperately I'd want to have a baby one day and b) how difficult that would be after depo, I'd have never had it

Although I've been ovulating and having a 25-27 day cycle for the last couple of years, (tmi alert!) my af has been just blood, no clots. To the extent that vitually every month I end up testing after af coz I'm convinced it was an implantation bleed! However the last two cycle's I've had strong ov signs, extreme pms and proper full on af with massive clots (sorry!).

So hoping the dreaded depo is finally out of my system and we're on our way to getting a bfp!

Good luck & baby dust to all, and h&h 9 months to all the post depo bfps!!!
