Official Depo Thread

[missjenn]

For me I only felt the side affects of coming off depo for the first 3 months or so. I haven't had any since....just what comes with ovulation.

 

[missjenn]

AF due tomorrow....or possibly Thursday....no pregnancy symptoms at all

My surgery was yesterday. Took longer than expected but I mostly feel bad for the person that was scheduled immediately after me at a different closeby hospital. Mark also mentioned that he needs to have surgery (hernia repair) so just scheduled him a consult for April. By then all the stuff from my surgery should be settled with our insurance.

 

[missjenn]

You must be so glad that the surgery is done with! Hopefully she heal quickly and get back to some "luvin" in no time!

I am on cycle day 29 now....AF always comes on either day 28 or 29. I am still hopeful this is my month. I just got back from the gyno actually and I told her I lost hope because I have no pregnancy symptoms and she said it's way too early. She said that over 90% of women don't show pregnancy symptoms until 6 weeks or more and that anything earlier is progesterone related and confused for pregnancy because they are sol similar. I sure hope she is right!

I'm confused, thought I was having regular cycles of 27 days (only last two months) but the witch has decided not to show as yet. I know I'm not pg, I've tested but I don't feel like I'm due either. This month has felt different, don't have the usual AF symptoms, painful boobs etc and I had twinges in that area, which at first made me quite hopeful. But I know I not pg so where is my AF. This is all typical cause I was going to have a month or two off ttc, as I've got my appointment for the infertility clinic in may and I thought knowing that might help me relax ttc. Blah


Oh and I thought I would stop temping cause AF was due, and temps where on the way down anyway, wish I hadn't now.

 

[missjenn]

I'm in the exact same boat! Don't give up just yet! I told my gyno that I had no symptoms at all this month and she said that most people don't get them until 6 weeks or more and she also told me not to test until I am one day late!

 

[esmeralda74]

I am one day late now, I tested yesterday and it was bfn and I mean a bfn

The only thing AF symptom I have is a bit of a belly.

How many days late are you and When are you going to test?? I'm going try and wait a couple of days, but I'll easily cave.

Arrrggghhhh what am I talking about, I know I'm not pg, the temps tell me that with out testing. Aargh feck just gimme my AF


Fx for you though xx

 

[missjenn]

Well, most of my cycles have been 28-29 days and today I am on cycle day 30. Geez,I keep checking like every 15 minutes to make sure it hasnt shown. I don't chart temps....just cm and BD so I have no idea when I ovulated for sure but it was either cycle day 14 or 15. FF said day 15 and I had watery those two days so I hope it was right.

I'm crazy stressed that AF is going to arrive...I do want this to be the month!! I'm going to test tomorrow morning....getting through this day is torture!!!

One of my friends (who is a nurse) didn't get her BFP until 2 days late! Don't count yourself out yet! I understand your frustration totally though!

 

[esmeralda74]

I'm constantly checking too, and I'm sat here wishing, that I am pg and I'm wrong in thinking that I'm not and chart is wrong.

I hope we both are, we can be bump buddies

 

[missjenn]

God I hope so! I want to break down and test this afternoon but every time I do that I get AF like two hours later so I'm going to try my best to wait it out!

BFP buddies would be fantastic!!

 

[esmeralda74]

well I spoke to soon, the witch has just got me. No warning, no nothing, just floored me.

I will keep her with me, away from you.

GL

 

[missjenn]

Frig!!!!!

Really sorry to hear that.

Oddly enough...I feel less hopeful now for myself with this just happening to you...because like yourself...I have no signs of AF either.

 

[Bibliophile]

Send her here! Lol. sorry she showed up.

 

[missjenn]

OMG OMG OMG!!!!!! I got a BFP this morning!! My heart is still racing from the shock!!! I will upload a picture of the test this evening...the lines could not possibly be any darker! We are going home to tell my family tomorrow....I just cannot believe this!!!

Didn't have a period for almost 11 years on the Depo shot...came off it....got my cycle back right away...although I thought my AF was way too light to get pregnant! I am so happy right now....nothing can take the smile off my face today!!

 

[sherylb]

Hi everyone!

Hope you guys don't mind me popping in to ask a question and since its a depo thread I figured here's the best place!

So when did you guys get your periods back? I went on my first injection November 2012 was due next one feb but didn't go back so I know it's still soon but I'm getting really disheartened about certain people's period returning 18 months- 2 years later! Had I of read about this before getting it, there's no way I would of got it xx

 

[Bibliophile]

Hey, Jan. My last depo was due in September and still waiting. I did have a friend who got hers back within 2-3 months, though. But I think most people seem to wait 6 months+.
