Official Depo Thread

[hazeleyes1556]

So I'm a little confused...

I've been taking Evening Primrose Since AF started and I got some little globs of EWCM...but a negative OPK

I don't get it

 

[Mom2Morgan]

I just need to vent also and do NOT want to offend anyone by no means BUT I did ask my doctor all kinds of questions and even asked if it was healthy to not have an AF and any time I had a question they told me the depo was a safe birth control and NEVER not once said anything about causing fertility issues. I have done some reading up on things since all my problems began and now have found where there has been reports about a higher rate of breast cancer from depo users even. I feel as though there needs to be MAJOR WARNINGS on this drug!!

 

[minni2906]

All birth control is linked to breast cancer risk. Other birth controls are actually linked to endometrial and ovarian cancer risk as well. So shouldn't there be MAJOR WARNINGS on all birth control? Or should they just take all birth control off the market since there is too much risk? Not logical.

All the medicines we put into our bodies have major risks, but it doesn't stop people from taking them. And there's no MAJOR WARNING on them either.

Just my opinion.

You stated that you hated when people call Depo an "evil drug". In my own opinion, I agree...IT IS!!! We have the right to "vent" also!! It is, what it is...EVIL Posion!! This is hard on some of us ladies that have been trying to conceive and was not told of the issues it may cause!

I agree with you, I went on depo 2 separate times given by 2 separate professions and not once was I informed about how long it may take to come out of my system!! I only realised this on researching it myself and had I known I would have chosen a different method of bc x

Just want to wish you the best of luck! I too would have chosen another form of BC! They are coming out with a LOT of bad stuff on the Depo! If I may ask, are you going to a fertility specialist? I am and have been on fertility meds 4 different times and still no AF.

Only been off depo for almost 3 weeks so not yet, really hoping it won't get that far. Sorry to hear AF hasn't shown it's face yet. Keep your chin up though hunni xx

I never said you couldn't vent, just wanted to provide some more facts.
You say it's hard on "us ladies that have been trying to conceive" like I haven't been......

 

[Mom2Morgan]

May I ask what facts you have provided? Just a question. You did seem a little snappy when you didn't like someone on here referring to the depo as an evil drug and even doubted us questioning our doctor. I do wish you the best and every other lady here trying to conceive.

So glad to see this argument stopped 2 days ago. I have obviously not been following the past few days.

Hi to all the newbies to this thread and BnB. Good luck to all of you!

Hello sheryl

How long have you been off the depo injection?

 

[sherylb]

I have actually had my baby and am back on it. I just don't have the heart to have someone else take over the thread. I had my last shot pre-baby April 2010, conceived March 2011 and she was born 11/13/11.

My doctor gave me the option of depo post-pardom and that was basically it. Since I didn't miss AF one bit I just got back on it and am sure to have plenty of calcium in my diet. I wanted to do Paraguard but he said I had to have AF first and since I am BFing I don't have one and have no idea when I will. I definitely can't handle 2 babies close in age so I didn't want to risk waiting to see.

Hi all

I was also on depo. I had my last injection January 2011. For the last year after coming off my cycles became very short and AF only lasted a day. I then started taking Cassava supplements. The first full cycle of taking it my cycles increased from an average of 23 days to 26 days and I had what I would term a proper AF - 4 days. At the end of my second cycle of Cassava I got my BFP. It was almost a year to the day that Depo should have been out of my system.

Good luck to all TTC

 

[sherylb]

Congrats on your ! You must be excited!

 

[jess1983]

Did you not read my post? I provided more facts of other BC being linked to cancers. I in no way intended to be snappy. I just don't like the term "evil drug". It's not cocaine. Yes, I doubted people asked their doctors. I know I didn't, and I am positive there are more on this thread who didn't either. Just because you are an exception, doesn't mean the generalization can't be made.

Again, I didn't mean to come off snappy, if that was the case. And I wish all the depo ladies the best as well.
