Official Depo Thread

Thanks for the tip - I've kept telling my husband not to expect anything yet etc etc etc and I truly believe it too, so this has thrown me for a loop! But I will remember to not get upset if things get whacky after this

My story isn't nearly as crazy as Kate's but this temping stuff can be nervewrecking.

 

[mauiaddict]

I've noticed! I woke up this morning thinking "please temp still be high, please be high" I was sure yesterday was just an anomaly!

 

[kates84]

You most likely will not have any issues hon. I'm only warning you because I went in to absolutely crazy person panic mode when I stopped ovulating and the stress and worry of it caused a bit of a breakdown - I thought I'd got cancer or early menopause or something. Turns out it was nothing to worry about, just the depo still messing with me and I want to try and stop other people from going through the same anxiety I did.

Maui have you tried to fix your signature ticker?

BTW Kate you have Journal spelled wrong in your siggy.

 

[kates84]

HAHAHA! I never noticed that.

And I'm supposed to be a freelance writer. No wonder I'm not rich yet.

 

[mauiaddict]

Yeah I tried to put my ticker in, but it says I can't do HTML yet in my siggie... so I guess Ihave to wait!

Hi girls. I dont wanna intrude but i want to give you some hope because i would have liked it when i was in the depo ttc boat. I cam off the shot mid oct 2010 my Dr. is a miracle and prescribed me Clomid Nov. took it one month and had no results i had already had one period then and i had my next one 26 days later, then dec i decided to go natural, 25 days later AF showed. This month I decided to try Maca root that i had heard about to promote fertlilty and i took it like day 4 thru about ovulation. I got my BFP 1/21/11 I had my first apt yesterday my dr did a transvaginal but its still too early couldnt see the sac yet but i got my bloods done and i get them done again tomorrow to see what my levels are. and i have a apt 2 weeks from now on the 10th to had another ultrasound and he said we should see it and get a heartbeat by then! I just wanted to pass along my happy story and hope it gives you all a big dose of hope and positive thoughts! Fingers tied in knots for your BFP's!

 

[sherylb]

Maybe html is at 10. I know it isn't too far from now.

 

[mauiaddict]

Ok it should be working now!

I was on depo for 9 months and it took 3 months for my period to come back to normal.

 

[JimmieB]

Hey My info is below...

Time on depo: 9 months (3 shots)
End date: 12 April 2010 (last shot)
Time it took AF to come back: August - I've only had three and they haven't been 'normal'
Time it took to regulate: Still Waiting
bfp: never


I was hoping someone may be able to give me some clue as to what's going on with my body atm...

My last AF was Nov 24 so I'm currently on CD 66 this cycle I've had a few spotting episodes, with the most recent being quite strange; last Thusday (CD58) I had some bright red blood, which I thought was the beginning of AF at the time, but from Friday all I've had is brown discharge, it doesn't smell or itch, there has hardly been enough to bother with a panty liner. It was almost like normal CM, but a bit more and brown. Then for the past two days it has been a lighter colour and more 'EWCM' like, but not heaps of it.

Anyways...I hope I haven't confused anyone lol

Thank You

[kates84]

Oh sweetheart I'm so sorry.

Have a few glasses of wine, smoke a whole packet of ciggies if you want. Take a few days out to do anything that makes you feel a little better.

Then when you're feeling up to, take heart from the fact that you are obviously fertile and go at it again.

I strongly believe that the souls of our miscarried little ones come back to us again - maybe not in the same body or even the same gender, but the precious little soul is the same.

[kates84]

So will you honey. When you feel ready and the time is right, that little soul will come back and this time stick around. And you'll make one of the worlds best mothers because that baby will be loved above everything else.

Well today was my 3rd day w/temps elevated so I got the lovely crosshairs on CD13, so today is 3dpo. (btw this is all crazy to talk about, I have stalked baby things for a while and am so used to hearing OTHER people talk about it, but it is weird to be talking about myself and these things!)

So now assuming I don't get AF sometime before testing, when would you ladies suggest I POAS? I have no idea how long my luteal phase is since I haven't had a period in eons due to the various bcs I've been on. I'm thinking maybe if I feel any symptoms I'll test 9dpo (bc I am always very anxious to do things early!) and if it's a BFN again on 12dpo. I have a Dr appt on 14dpo - scheduled as a preconception check... how cool would that be if instead of preconception check/chat it's a confirming pg check

 

[babyhopes2010]

just thought id let you know im logging off @ 6pm(in 2 hours)

Im really struggling to cope and need to be off here for a while so dh is changing password,i tried to stay off here and it lasted a week lol but this time its like i been hit by a ton of breaks and the MC is still very much happening,dont know when ill be back maybe few months or so or maybe call it a day.
If anyone wants to add me to fb its clare keane and my email is [email protected]
Thanks for all ur support i just need to get the whole baby thoughts outta my head and be with my husband.

[sherylb]

I kind of think you should find out at the dr appt. They say 15 dpo should be long enough.
