Sounds good and like it will be less expensive since you are avoiding the specialist.

Thats exactly what I was thinking $$$

So maybe this will be your month doing it natural! good luck girl

I know I really hope so. I know that when you quit thinking about it thats when it happens so I am trying hard to relax and just let nature take its course. Good luck to you too!!

I want to start using OPKs, anyone have any suggestions on what brands I should or shouldnt buy or where to get them online? Thanks ladies!

 

[ckylesworld]

Clearblue digital are the best I think. U can get them on amazon 20 for $30 they have been great for me. U get a smiley face if it's posative, no guessing.

I like the clear blue digital but I also buy Wondfo online for really cheap I buy like 50 opks 10 hcg test for about 9.99 plus. Then it's not so expensive to pee on multiple stripes a day when ic look positive I pee on clear blue to get smiley.

I liked the cheepo HPTs. I didn't really use the ovulation strips but I tried them. They are more hastle to me trying to figure out if the line is dark enough. I much preferred temping throughout the month so I could see how consistent I was (every month CD21) and confirm that I actually did O so we could break from DTD.

Wow, so it was every month cd21???? that is awesome! Im so hoping that once I O that my cycle will be something like this. So i can pinpoint O easier.

Thanks!

Question for you guys. I have been taking FertilAid since Feb, when my shot was due. its supposed to help with the female system, AF, O and conceiving. Im still waiting to get AF and Im on CD80 !!!

on June 7th, 2 weeks from now, I go to Dr. where I am goign to ask to be put on Provera or something to help me get my period. My question is........
should I stop the FertilAid now and have 2 weeks of taking NOTHING before I go???

Thoughts?

my temps "look" like I could O at anytime, I did have some cramping and light pink on my tissue a few days ago and then nothing

 

[jme84]

I think I would stop the fertiliaid. If they want to do any testing it might alter how the test come out. You also can not take fertilitiaid with clomid just fyi.

The 3 months that I have O marked on my chart it is ALL CD21 which I thought was great!

I am 28 and had never charted or really even paid attention to whether my cycles were regular before I went on depo and had my first son, so I am really hoping that they are! Well, actually really hoping to get a BFP this cycle (who isn't!! ), but who knows if everything is going the right way since this is my first AF after depo. I am temping/checking cm but also want to try out the OPK's if we dont get a BFP this cycle. Thanks for the help everyone.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this thread.

On Depo 10 years
Shot was due May 1st 2012, did not go.
NO AF Yet

I'm looking for support and advice as I've read through all the horror stories on the internet .

Last week I went to the washroom and had a bunch of black and brown blood but that was it. I have had no period the entire time on depo. The doctor told me it was just old blood that was stored in my uterus and then released....nothing to do with AF or pregnancy. This was a doctor from a regular clinic...not a gynecologist. On the waiting list to see one and on a waiting list for an ultra sound to make sure everything is okay there.

Had anyone had that type of bleeding for one day and then nothing?

 

[Mom2Morgan]

Hi Jenn! Just wanted to send lots of baby dust your way. I was on depo for 4 1/2 years the first time and then back on it again for about 12 years. My last shot was March of 2011 and finally just started my FIRST AF since coming off of the depo!!!! Never thought I would ever be happy to see her but I was. The doctor tried almost everything and then decided to try me on Estrace tablets to build my lining up for 6 weeks and then AF came full force!! I was glad to see it come but also glad to see it go too...lol. At least you are seeing some sign of an AF trying to come on her own so that is GREAT!! Just wanted to wish you the best and keep us posted!

 

[missjenn]

Thanks! I'm not sure if it was AF but I'm hopeful its a sign that it is coming! Are you on a regular cycle now? I've seen a lot of success stories on here but Im turning 32 and I feel like my clock is ticking so the sooner the better for me!

 

[Mom2Morgan]

May was my first cycle and it only came with the help of the Estrace 2mg 2X a day. My RE wants to see if I can cycle on my own (unmedicated) this month. I hope and pray I do since it has been over a year since my last shot (March 2011). At least you are not as old as me...I'm 39! I hope and pray for the both of us!

 

[missjenn]

Good luck!! Hope it works for you!

Time on depo: 6 months
End date: May 2011
Time it took AF to come back: August (started the pill)
Time it took to regulate: HA, regular? What is regular?
bfp: Not yet...

 

[sherylb]

If anyone has extra time and wants to see if there are updates to add to the list that would be great. My LO is 7 months tomorrow and her first tooth came through today. :-D

 

[missjenn]

Awww...your little one looks so sweet!!!!

Hmm...this morning it looks like I got my period...not sure if it's a true one or not.

Shot was due between May 1st and May 15th.

Had what I assume was breakthrough bleeding on June 2nd as it was just that evening and that was it.

This morning I woke-up with the same thing and I am hoping this is my actual period this time. Guess I'll know more tomorrow if AF is still here!
