arnebaby - congratulations! I hope it's extra sticky! I too fell pregnant with this bub just 9 months past my skipped shot. I consider myself very lucky also enjoy your pregnancy, it really is life changing x

Arnebaby, Congrats!!!!

I too was "average". It took me 10 months after the last shot to get my BFP.

Ok, I am pregnant for a while longer. My contractions lasted from 11:30 to 4:30 and were caused by dehydration but stopped about when hubby got there after being on IV fluids for a few hours. I am still 2-3 cm so not sure how much longer I have. Kristin's head was so close to my cervix at the hospital that I had to move around to help the nurse measure dilation.

 

[Mommy2be20]

Wow Sheryl, doesn't sound like you have much longer to go! Good luck when the big day comes around! x

AF HAS RETURNED!!!!!!!!! Hubby and I can REALLY start trying now!!! (not that it hasn't been fun the last 6 months...)

congratulations arnebaby and congrats minni on getting AF back. Sheryl good luck I will be thinking of you.

 

[Mommy2be20]

minni - congrats on the return of Af weird how that's exciting eh? (yes, I'm Canadian ) Hopefully it doesn't take you long for your BFP, considering you just practiced for 6 months LOL good luck hun x

 

[sherylb]

LOL, I think it would be much more noticeable that you are from Canada if we heard you say that statement out loud.

I've had many people make fun of my excitement. I don't care though, its still exciting. Its perfect timing too. OH and I are moving to our own apartment the first of November and the 2-4 end up being my fertile days. Haha.

I was on depo for 2years, i had my last injection in march 2011, it is now end of october and i havent yet had a visit from the monthly witch! ive taken 2 hpt which have come back negative, ive had pregnancy symptoms for about a month now, lower back ache, nausea, sore breasts (even leaking sorry tmi), and the doctor has told me just to wait. Im going insane with it all as i would very much like to have baby no3, i have a 6 year old and a 4 year old but have always wanted 3 and dont want a mega big age gap . I hate depo and will not be going on it ever again

So my DH moved back home in nov of 2010 and we decided to continue with the depo. I got my last shot of depo the first week of january but when it came to end in march, we started TTC. Everything was a little rough because i had my Witch every 2 weeks. Then in june when we were planning our little wedding i found out that i was preg, only to start bleeding with a confurmed MC the day we got married. That was very hard on us, so we relaxed on the TTC but we didn't go on BC. Then in mid september DH lost his job and we choose to go back on BC till januaryof 2012 because we didn't want to have a lil one too close to our childs b-day. So we waited, and waited for the witch to show. But she never did Now i have got my BFP and am almost 8 weeks.
My point is in all of this is that: While it did take me the adverage 9 months post last shot to get my bfp, That is still a long road to take that the doc doesn't tell ya about before the shot. Im happy now and wish you all the same to those that are preg a wish for a smooth 9 months, And babydust to everyone else. Even though it can be long and heartbreaking the outcome is worth it

I have a question. I am day 18 and don't think that I have o yet this month. I have an appointment to get progesterone tested day 23 to see if I have od. Does progesterone spike right after ovulation? I am wondering if I will need to reschedule my appointment. I hate to be negative but I could just not be oing again this month.

 

[sherylb]

It should go up quickly. That's the main reason that people temp. The rise in temperature after ovulation is caused by progesterone increase.

 

[jme84]

Thanks! Thats what I thought

 

[SLH]

Everyone seems to be average except for me lol. 22 months after Depo and still nothing.

 

[sherylb]

I wonder why you are having issues after so long. Have you talked to your doctor about it?

 

[jme84]

I am not average either I am off depo almost 16 months last depo shot june 2010. My doctor has been wonderfu to help me. Good luck will get our bfp soon.

OK so I am totally new at this testing to see when you ovulate. I have been doing First Response OPK since my period ended (the month supply one). Every morning I would get up go to the bathroom and take the test. We would watch as the line would get deeper in color every day. To cover all our bases we were baby making also. Well yesterday I tested in the morning like usual and the line was not there anymore. I thought to myself wow I must have ovulated yesterday (we babymaked that day so I wasn't really concerned) and then I tested this morning and the same thing, no line.... So that really gets me thinking I must have ovulated. I am not temping this go around but I am just wondering am I correct in what I am thinking about the OPK? Did I ovulate??? This month October 8th made me 7 months since my last depo shot and I have been having normal periods for the last two months and I am about 26 day cycles. Any help from the people who have been through this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have been to the doctors. My husband and I are seeing a fertility specialist so hopefully it happens soon.
