Official Depo Thread

Hi Guys
Im losing the pregnancy, I am devastated. My betas went from 168 to 235 to 170, all with 4 days between them...........
 
Hi guys

So this is going to be a venting, need support, I'm confused and TRYING my best to be positive post. I dont even know if this is the right place to put this, but I have spent the majority of the last 10 months in this area so - here I am.

As many of you know, I got my bfp Aug 5th, then 1 week later betas dropping and was told chemical. So, now here I am. I am trying my best to stay positive and look forward to the next cycle and TTC again. But its hard because I'm not quite there yet. I am now just waiting and kind of in limbo like I was before when i was waiting to O ?!?!??!?!

I dont know where i belong, ? I am ttc, but just technically not right now as I need to wait for betas to drop and to get AF.

I will say that strangely, my pregnancy symptoms went away 100% and it seemed like it just happened over night. I guess, considering my situation that is good as the sooner I start to bleed, the sooner I can start a new cycle and move on.

I just needed a place to go and talk it out, I think I might start temping again tomorrow and see what happens, I was going to wait until after bleeding came and went but I have NO SIGN of that and i feel like I have "no idea where I am" all over again - (those of you that remember, I had a 130+ day cycle and never knew what was going on).

So, maybe I'll start temping tomorrow, maybe if i see they are below cover - then I'll know Im almost able to start a new cycle. I do go back to get my betas checked on MOnday so that will tell us some too.

I'm sorry for rambling, i just needed to go somewhere. And Im sorry this is a depressing post. I thought I was doing so good since I got the news, I have been thinking positive and excited in the fact that I DID get bfp ---- but today, im not feeling so great.

Also, does anyone know if I could not get my period? could my body just absorb the preg? should I take a test and see if its negative ?

I know you don't want to take a break but I think it would be really good for you mentally to take at least once cycle not trying not preventing. Just relax while your body sorts things out. Some people do actually get pregnant the first cycle after a chemical so don't get discouraged. I don't know what to expect from your cycles, just to hope that they resume normal soon. :hugs: Sheryl
 
Hi!
I hate depo provera!!!

I have been off of it for almost three years now, but I wish I had never taken it.
I have taken it for over a year, and like some others have said, I hate that my dr never warned me about anything like what it can do for fertility!
Actually, some drs I think will say that it doesn't affect fertility, but I doubt that!

Also, I was never overweight, but after depo, I quickly piled on the pounds. 30 of them! And they have been the hardest pounds to lose ever. My bmi is just over 26 right now, so I am overweight but I don't look terribly overweight anymore, just "chubby", but that sucks too! And I'm sure it doesn't help, the extra weight, with the fertility either. Although there are people who are more overweight than me who have lots of babies.

Post depo I've also had acne- I never had acne even as a teenager.

I've been ttc for 7 months now (very actively ttc! At least every second day!) and I'm only 26, I work out, I eat lots of veggies, greek yogurt, all the good stuff, (in an effort to lose those pounds as well), but no success!

Going to dr next week to get a physical and see if there's anything obvious from getting me pregnant. I have a new lady dr now and I do appreciate her manner, she is very understanding, and so far seems very helpful, lining me up for lots of tests and stuff right away, not saying anything annoying like, "wait a year first" (my old dr would always brush off all my concerns! same one who gave me depo.)

But every dr should warn patients about the possible effects of depo.

Oh, and my periods do come regularly now, but it took more than a year for that to happen, a year of sometimes nonstop period.

But the very worst thing about depo? It takes away your sex drive. This is really sad for me, and I hope there is some kind of natural cure out there, but even though I love my partner and am very attracted to him, I have never felt, "horny" since depo. I really hope that's not a terrible sign that something's really wrong with me! I can have sex and enjoy it once we get started, but I never instigate it anymore, and I wish I did, it makes me sad! :(

Has anyone else found some kind of supplement to boost "desire"?

Right now I feel like a bff! (big fat failure!)

This would be our first baby, and we both really want it! So that's me, sorry for the ramble, just looking to vent off some steam (AF came today) and found these handy forums! Thought it was time I joined one after 7 months of trying by myself with no gfs to talk to.
(I don't want to tell anybody I know that I am trying until I succeed.)

-Moi
 
ps everyone with baby pictures on your profiles...you're babies are all sooooo cute and I want one!!!
 
Grace I am sorry I went through all kinds of crazy emotions after my loss. I can't say what really helped me but hang in there it will happen again. And know I am here for you.
 
Ladies I've gotten two pos opks and two af after getting off depo but I'm wodering if I'm really ovulating any suggestions?

Hi genesis I'm new here but wanted to respond to your post. I had 2 shots of depo and last one was meant to run out beginning of may 2012. Since off it I've felt very low regularly especially in the evening, tingling nips, severe ovary. Ramping, nausea, dizzy spells, no energy or motivation (not like me at all I used to exercise 6 days per week, achy legs, irritable all in all its been horrendous I've felt entirely incapable most of the time. I saw doc who referred me for a scan they found nothing except they said I had not ovulated, now considering I went in to have the scan on cd 31 that sent alarm bells ringing and it made me realise that it is likely I've not been ovulating all the other months either I've had short bleeds which I assumed was my af.... Opks heave been pos and neg both ways throughout Month so I don't think I've been ovulating the lady said my lining is thick so guessing my bleeds have just been just my lining coming away :cry: having taken Angus castus and b vits I am now going to go back to dr to ask for blood tests to check my hormones and am starting acupuncture and daily temping next week
Good luck to all you ladies out there... I think they should have a very clear disclaimer for ladies using certain birth control so we fully understand the risks and fact they are common and we need more support when coming off i feel us women once again are having to bear things that men happily dont need to thnk about it pisses me off big time!!!

first off thank you for responding. :thumbup:
im feeling the a few thing similar to you coming off depo a headache once a day sore nipples out of no where one time it last two weeks and it was just my right one. i feel un motivated too i just started college so its been really hard to get up and go to school every morning and do my home work (which i should be doing now but am on bnb naughty me lol) i also have gotten two pos opks since getting off depo one on cd10 the other on cd 14 the one on cd 10 i didnt get af fully until cd 34 so i know that is way to long after ovulating to get af so im guessing i either ovualted late or didnt at all this month if i did ovulate correctly af should be due on cd 14 i just had a doc appointment yesterday im wondering if i should bring ovulation up to my doc? we discussed af because she has returned fairly quickly i got the first week off june start to spot on the 16th of june for four day then it stopped not full af but got a full af on july 30th the lasted about 10 freaking days. so i guess im on my way i just have to play the waiting game. im wondering if i should even put myself in the stress of ttc due to just getting off depo and "it taking some time" like my doc says. i feel like all my attemps are in vain and that my pos opks mean nothing ugh i just dont know what i should do i think im going to start charting when af shows up next though
 
Charting will definitely help you figure out what's going on better.

i know everyone says i should chart but its really hard for me to chart because the medication im on makes me have to tinkle with urgency so im up and down all night running to the bathroom and when i wake up this first thing i have to do is tinkle and bad. so it hard for me to tempt now but my doc is talking about taking me off the medication not only because of that but because its not a good thing to be on if your ttc. so hopefully by next month it will be out of my system and i will be able to tempt im really excited about tempting but at the moment i cant really start
 
I'm sure I mentioned temping while walking to the bathroom/sitting before?
 
My bathroom was not far away. I'm sure yours isn't either. I also set the alarm clock for 7 and on days I didn't need to get up I temped, entered in my phone and went back to sleep.
 
true mines actually right next to my room so def not far away. i wake up at 6 15 am for school so i think thats a good time
