LOL. We counted fingers and toes on the sonogram but yeah I probably will count them again. I have been having non-productive contractions since we got in from Trick or Treating Monday night. They were really consistent every 10 minutes yesterday. It got to the point that I was out with hubby and they were hurting me so bad I walked outside with hubby and cried. I wish they were being productive but hopefully soon they will up the pain and something will start. I am still 2 cm dilated, not expected to make it to my due date, and her head is sitting in the birth canal.

Happygirl,

Goodluck! I remember getting nothing on the test (IC) in the morning, but felt weird all day. On a whim, I tested after getting home from work and got the faintest of faint lines on an IC. It was so light that DH wouldn't believe it until I tested again the next morning (at the crack of dawn because I was too excited to sleep) with one of my stash of more expensive tests.

At what point did you test? Did you wait till you missed your period? My husband and I want to test early but I am afraid it will come back negative.

Heh. I was soooo bad during TTC. I bought a pack of 60 ICs on Amazon, so I started testing from probably 8dpo. I think I got my first faintest of faint BFP on the evening of 10dpo (after seeing NOTHING that morning). After that I continued to test pretty much every morning "just to make sure" until after AF was due.

So does anybody else out there feel the same way I do about getting pregnant. I so want to have a baby and start a family but everytime I get excited that this is it I feel then that it wont happen. I feel that if I talk about it or get excited or even acknowledge it it wont happen. I think as I get close to when my period is suppose to start I start telling myself it wont happen. Give it up... Does anybody else go through this?

It can be really hard to get ttc off the brain.

Bad Depo! I hope the Clomid works for you.

3 months on depo
last shot June 2011
BFP: 1 daughter


I was just told by my doctor yesterday that it may take some time to concieve...I thought i was in the clear with the depo side effects because i was only on it for three months...and i have never taken any other kind of BC. But aparantly im not...thought i was a positive and maybe there just wasnt enough hcg in my system to show up BFP but doctor crushed that dream yeasterday...said the symtpoms ive been haveing are from comming off of the depo...headaches, sick, moody, crampy, all that good stuff...on day 34 of my cycle...im hoping that since ive already had two regular cycles the last two months that im just going to be irregular for a while...dont know when AF is gonna hit...or when im gonna ovulate...i just had a colposcopy done yesterday so until that heals i really can do much with my hubby...

 

[jess1983]

I am sorry, the stupid depo side effects suck. I think that depo should be banned. I hope that AF comes soon or you get your BFP. Good luck.

 

[n_gods_hands]

thanks...im starting to think more positive about it now...i think im gonna try and get one of the opk...it should still be able to predict ovulation even though my cycle if messed up now right...of course after i heal from the colposcopy...

Yes i know what you mean.i was ttc 2.5yrs! bloody depo!

i NEVER thought id get pregnant and i thought if i ever thought it was possible it would runing my chances

even now,and im sure on Monday i feel like if i think im going to have a baby soon something will stop this from happening.

i think our mind plays games to try to block our emotions

u will be a mummy i never thought i would be but here i am all rolly polly round with twinges and babies foot in my ribs

Most of us have had trouble getting pregnant after depo, but I don't think it should be banned. It took me 10 months, but it happened.

While I was on depo, I loved it! No periods, no side effects. I wouldn't go back on it until I'm done having kids (and even then I'd probably go with something longer term like an implant), but it's a solid,easy option if you really really don't want to get pregnant.

I don't think it should be.banned. I loved it while I was on it and I'll probably go back on it someday. It just made TTC a bit more complicated.

 

[babyhopes2010]

would never take it again.ttc 2.5yrs was awful!

 

[SLH]

It has been almost 2 years since my last Depo shot and it still hasn't happened for me. I guess it's going to take longer than usual since I didn't have a period for 7 years. We just found out that my husbands SA was below average.

 

[jess1983]

I changed it to say that I think it should be banned lol. Sorry about that. SLH I am keeping my fx'ed for your BFP.

 

[SLH]

I still don't think it should be banned though. I loved being on it. It took my torturous periods away and I can't thank it enough for that lol.

Thanks Jess1983! Congratulations on your pregnancy!

It has also almost been 2 years since my last Depo shot & also still I hav even tried 4 rounds of clomid....bt still . I was on it for almost 4 years with no period. This is driving me insane.

I dont think it should be banned because some people never want kids...i think doctors should tell you up front what could happen if you do decide to stop taking the shot how your body will react and how long it can take before getting pg...for short term protection i dont think depo is the right answer...for long term protection-if you never want kids-- then it may be what youneed. idk i just wish i did not take it...it messes with you reproduction system to bad..so maybe i dont understand after all the complaints from the depo they are still allowing people to get the shot...ive always said to my hubby anything that stops your menstural cycle isn't right...because your body is made the way it is suppose to work...idk that is just my opinion
