Official Depo Thread

My primary care doc and my gyno keep telling me there's nothing they can give me but that's must be a lie because all you ladies docs Re giving you options and solutions. Ugh I'm so fustrated

 

[jme84]

I think it really depends on the doctor. My doctor was shocked that I waited that long to come and see him. Since I had read on this forum that they would help until a year I waited a year.

Well my gyno says she's not worried about the no period thing and she told me to come back in six month. I guess she'll do something. My primary care doc said he's not worried because I'm young and conceived my son fairly quickly after a mc. And the first pregnancy I conceived the second time me and hubby ever had sex back when we first started dating. So he doesn't think I'll have any problems conceiving once I get af back. So maybe I should chill out but after reading all the horror stories I can't help but be worried. Regardless I don't have many options just wait or hop from doc to doc trying to help my next appoint with my gyno is in Jan 2013 she says I dont need to keep the appointment if af show up before

My doctor said that 6 months after my last injection if I wasn't preggers I could go back and he would start looking into things.

 

[genesismarie]

Yeah same with my gyno she wants to wait six months. I guess she wants to see if I get back af naturally before looking into things. Which makes sense but really don't want to wait. I just want my body to be normal

Hello ladies,
I believe I just started my first period after depo this morning I'm excited but nervous that some how the blood will go away lol

 

[grace10209]

thats great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay!
just think you did this all on your own, WITHOUT MEDS!

thats a great sign, i would start charting/temping and have today be cd1

 

[missjenn]

Thats great news! My first two periods after depo were really light. I'm on my two week wait right not....week 2 of the two week wait actually...not sure if im ovulating yet though. I tried charting my temps but my wakeup time is way too inconsistent. I just chat cervical mucus and intercourse and hope for the best! Good luck!

 

[genesismarie]

Yeah the first month off I spotted for four days only when I wiped and one drop on my panties this month its way more when I wipe and even blood in the toilet when I tinkle(sorry of tmi) so far none on my panties though so I guess mine are super light too

 

[genesismarie]

First two bleeding are 34days apart

 

[missjenn]

My first two months off depo...I got mine the first month and the second one was exactly a 28 cycle. I felt the second one was still light but heavier then the first. I would have been good to change tampon just once a day...change several times for cleanliness obviously...but that's how light it probably was. The first day is the heaviest and then trickers off. The last two days are mostly brown discharge.

 

[missjenn]

My gyno gave me a prescription for progesterone to take if I didnt get my period the second month or if it was super light. I didnt take it hoping it was a real period. My gyno also said that by the third month if i'm not ovulating they can give me something to ovulate. I dont get the ewcm but also learned that alot of women dont ever get it and still fall pregnant.

 

[genesismarie]

Yeah I havnt had ewcm but have had a positive opk though but not sure if I actually ovulated though but I just had really watery cm when I got the pos opk

 

[missjenn]

I've gotten the watery/creamy type but that would be the closest to fertile for me. I haven't used any OPK's...too pricy for me and Im not sure if im ovulating. I had bloodwork done a few weeks ago so hopefully that will confirm if I am or not then I might try using them.

 

[genesismarie]

You should try you can get some real cheap ones online but I like the digital ones so they are the one that cost a grip lol

 

[missjenn]

I have 8 days left in my two week wait so will see what happens!

 

[genesismarie]

Good luck missjenn!

 

[missjenn]

thx!

ok you are NOT going to believe this. I am on here every so often, like all of you im struggling after depo.

So, i was put on Provera to help me get AF, I took my LAST provera pill on Thursday, and today is sunday so Im waiting for AF, on friday I had some spotting when I wiped after potty but it was only one time and it went away.

Then yesterday my nipples were KILLING ME! so badly they hurt, so today - for some reason i decided to take a pregnancy test. It was positive!! i was shaking and freaking out, so I took another - positive again.

I called doctors office to find out if provera could cause false positive, while waiting for them to call i took a 3rd test, i bought a bunch online 2 months ago. anyway, 3rd test POSITIVE!

doctors office called back, they said there is NO way provera would cause false positive, they said if ive gotten 3 bfp's ! then IM PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i still didn't believe it so i went to the store and bought a FRER and positive AGAIN.
two very dark lines!!!!

im going to doctor tomorrow at 7am for blood tests. THERE IS HOPE LADIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[genesismarie]

Congrats on your bfp that very exciting
