got AF back last month... so far no sign this month. was due on Nov 18th.

Was AF that you had last month the first one after Depo? I had a 65 day cycle after my first AF. After the second one they became regular.

Have you taken a pregnancy test?

Took one on the 18th, but was I'm afraid to test again, because even though I've convinced myself that it's still the depo, it'd be devastating. I think I'm gonna suck it up and test tomorrow morning though...

And yes, that was my first AF since last depo in Feb.

I think you should take another test tomorrow. You never know you could be pregnant.

Have you thought about charting to track ovulation? Have you gotten a positive OPK yet this cycle? If you haven't I think you should bd just incase you are ovulating very late. I don't know.

Good luck girls I hope af regulates soon or you get bfp soon.

I tried temping a while ago, when I first came off the shot, but I could never find a pattern or anythingand I don't think FF could either. I've never used OPKs cause they're so expensive. Hubby and i still BD about 3x a week, as thats all we can get in with him working two jobs .

 

[jme84]

Hang in there once your cycles start to regulate, you should be able to try temping again and get a pattern. Just fyi I buy opks on amazon 50 plus 10 pregnacy tests for about 10$.

 

[minni2906]

So, as expected, this morning.

I'm sorry that really sucks!

 

[jme84]

So I wasn't going to say anything until I got my blood work back to really determine that I od. I want to yell it from the roof tops and know you gals would understand. I got positive opks yesterday with a temp spike this morning. Looks to me like I am 1dpo. This would be the first time in about 17 months after depo. I go to the doc Friday to check progesterone. I would really like my but right now I am just happy my body might be working again. Good luck girls!

 

[SLH]

Jme84, that's great news. I hope your progesterone is fine and you get your bfp this month. Wouldn't that be the best Christmas present ever.

I had my progesterone test yesterday and it was not good. It came back at a 2.2 and the normal is 10+. My doctor has prescribed me a drug called serophine which is like clomid and he also prescribed me Progesterone suppositories to take 12 days after I ovulate twice a day. I believe that the Depo had something to do with that.

 

[jme84]

Thanks SLH so glad that your doc is helping you. I hope you get your Christmas BFP I am worried that my progesterone is going to come back low on Friday not because I didn't o but from evil depo. I look that far in advance too. If I o on day 18 next cycle it will be on New Years eve.

 

[sherylb]

My neighbor's 2 kiddos were both conceived on New Years Eve so good luck to you!!

 

[cutedimples]

It will be 2 years since coming off the drug for me in January.[/QUOTE]

It will also b 2 years since my last shot of the depo injection in January.

I am now on CD16, I think i am ovulating coz my sex drive is sky high. Hubby and i are going all natural this month...pls keep fingers crossed for a

 

[Kimbre]

its been 1 year and almost 9 months since i was due for a depo shot. still TTC. getting very frustrated.

10 DPO today. thinking AF may be on her way. slight cramping since 7 DPO though. lots of symptoms but thats not unusual.

 

[little_willow]

Depo was due end of june this year and still no AF. Was on it for almost 2 years but previously was on it for abt 3 yrs and got AF back within a couple of months and pregnant with youngest within 5 months of not going for shot. Hope my stupid cycle sorts itself out soon. Cant wait to be pregnant again, love having a bump lol xx

 

[n_gods_hands]

?????? ladies...off depo for three months only took it one time my whole life...any of you spot bleed around CD14 CD15 after comming off...urghh...i hoping its breakthrough bleeding (ov) but im not sure anymore because my cycle has been thrown completly off by the depo...i just want my regular cycle back...anyway this is what happened last night CD14 i had light bleeding so i put a pad on this morning the pad was still clean...then brown cm now im i just went back to the bathroom and had more light spotting...im praying its really ov and not just my screwed up cycle....any one had this comming off the shot...

 

[jme84]

Good luck cutedimples my fingers are crossed for your BFP .

Kimbre it has almost been 1 year and 5 months almost six for me I feel your pain. I think this is the first month that I have actually o. Hope it happens for you soon.

n_gods_hands I really hope that you are about to o but it might be the stupid depo messing with you. I would get Af every 14-16 days until starting provera to help regulate. Good luck

Im having the same thing(kinda)! I start what I thought was a light period almost every 14-16 days. Seeing the doctor tomorrow morning. Im not sure if its low progesterone,or endo,or maybe an infection or STD? I just know its freaking me out. Im so tired of bleeding LOL

Ill be sure to come back and update if my doc figures anything out tomorrow.

I've heard women comng off depo can have low progesterone after it leaves because their bodies stopped producing it on its own. So maybe the provera(progesterone) helped in that way? How long did you have to take the provera?

 

[jme84]

Lmp my doc did say that depo causes low progestrone and he also says it causes your ovaries to hibernate. I am currenlty on my 3rd cycle of provera and clomid. 1st cycle provera 10 mg twice a day for 10 days and clomid 50 mg days 5 to 9 no o. 2nd and 3rd provera for 5 days and my period starts 4 to 5 days after the provera. My doc said je would not recommend stopping the provera to do it each cycle. We doing want me body to go back to crazy cycles. I was on depo for ten years though so hopefully depo gets out of your system quicker than mine.
