You are right. You just ovulate really early. I consistently Oed on CD21 so my dates and my doctors dates are a week different.

Thank you for checking that for me I wasn't sure if I was doing it right so I just took the ticker off lol. It was really weird. This cycle just felt like they always did pre-depo I didn't get headaches I got a + opk on cd 13 and I just kept think when is the witch gonna get here? (because she kept coming so early) why do I feel so normal?

 

[sherylb]

Oh how I long to feel normal. But never again... DH's family is coming over in 2 hours for our last family poker and bbq before Kristin comes.

 

[jess1983]

That is awesome just wait the second you have her you will be like how did I ever live without her. I am keeping my fx'd for you to have a super easy and fast labor

 

[sherylb]

I am keeping my fingers crossed that when she comes DH is not at work and not scheduled to be for the next few days because he's only going to be able to take off (unpaid) while I am at the hospital. He hasn't been at his job a month yet.

 

[jess1983]

ooh I will keep my fx'ed for you too. When I had my five year old my hubby only had one day off and I was bummed.

Well, I had that weird bleeding a few days ago, and now FF is giving me crosshairs for the 12th of Oct! This was my 1st cycle taking soy and if it made me O finally I will be so excited! FF does give me crosshairs most cycles though and usually ends up taking them away I haven't had a +OPK but it was the darkest on the same day they say I O'd, so maybe I missed the surge. I was out of town so wasn't able to take my OPKs more than once a day unfortunately. Luckily DH and I did BD on O-2, O, and O+1 so if I O'd hopefully we covered our bases...

 

[jess1983]

congrats maui that is awesome

FXd JME! I am so sick of being so out of whack due to the Depo... I will be on if it was a real O even if I don't get a BFP!

 

[Mommy2be20]

maui - if you did O when FF has you marked and your OPK was pretty dark, I think you got it covered hun.. and hopefully that is the case, of course! Isn't it funny how exciting it is to O after struggling with Depo I would be like a kid in a candy store every time I'd see a smiley! x

jme - good luck with your second lot of clomid! x

I never thought I would get so upset about not o ing last month. I cried I also can not wait to have regular cycles again. i am anxiously waiting dh second sa results. Why does the dang lab take so long. Fxd that the first test was a fluke and he has great swimmers.

So good news!!! AF came back last month. I have now had a regular period for the last two months. They have been 5 days long. I am really excited about this because my body is getting back to its old self. The only thing I am not enjoying is all the emotional things going on with me. While on depo my emotions were not this high, now when I was on my period I was really emotional. I am hoping to get my BFP soon. I started this morning with the First Response OPK to help navigate us to the right time to baby make. I am so excited about what is ahead of us. Can't wait... What are your thoughts on every other day? Do you think that works? Thanks for listening.

Hello everyone.

I've been 'lurking' on this thread for a while as I found it really helpful hearing all the different experiences after Depo. I wanted to add my own story in the hope that it will spread some positive vibes, hope and babydust to all!

I'm 38 with no children and have been on some form of BC for pretty much the last 20 years! More specifically I was on the Depo shot for 6 years. Having finally made the decision with my partner to try to have children I looked up how long it might take to conceive and freaked out! There didn't seem to be many stories on the web to back up the claim from the medical world that it takes an average of 9 to 10 months from last inj to get pregnant. Needless to say that I was quite worried, bearing in mind my age. Luckily, I turned out to be totally 'average' as I've just had my first BFP almost exactly 9 months from my last inj. Am so excited!!!

My timeline was as follows;
Last injection December 2010
Missed injection March 2011. Had fairly bad withdrawal symptoms - boobs really sore and grew 2 cup sizes! Bloated and put on weight. Neg HPT
Period returned June 2011. Fairly regular after that but quite short cycle at around 24 days.
BFP September 2011!!!

Needless to say we're over the moon it happened so quickly and are keeping everything crossed that it's sticky. Just wanted to share so that all you ladies and the other 'lurkers' on this great thread can add another positive statistic to the list for this year. Thanks for all your musings and words of wisdom over the last 6 months. J xxx

Every other day gets old really fast. I would suggest monitoring your CM if you aren't up for temping.

Great news I went through the reeeally bad emotions and moodiness with every AF.. oh it wasn't pleasant! I think it's a mixture of being au natural and also the simple fact of getting AF when you're ttc, but it's worth it, I promise that! Every other day.. are you meaning to BD? If so, that should have you well covered and once you get a pos OPK, if it's your day off then BD anyways. Honestly, I had only BD'd the day of my pos OPK and bam... boy was I shocked, so don't stress if you miss a day here or there!
