In my chart it's C which I really had to think about! I was going to tell you cloudy and just remembered that C is creamy. I didn't have EWCM the month we conceived so I didn't have a whole lot of hope.

 

[genesismarie]

im having tons of white creamy/kind of watery cm

 

[sherylb]

Unfortunately you can really base anything on CM. It could be a complete coincidence.

 

[genesismarie]

Yeah I thought so because I had the same thing last month

 

[genesismarie]

did any of you ladies have a problem with lack of sexual desire while on depo and/or after getting off?

 

[sherylb]

[genesismarie]

Hello ladies! It has now been 18 months since my last depo shot and still no period. I started taking a natural vitamin called Fertilaid about 4 weeks ago in hopes that it will help balance out my hormones. It has really good reviews so I guess I'll find out if it works!

hey girls i know some of you have may gone the bcp route when trying to get af to get her act together after depo. just wondering how that worked out for you? my gyno yesterday gave me the option to go this route but she said she would suggest that i wait until i get my next af and see how my next cycle goes. im currently on cd44 last cycle af showed up on cd 45 so im praying she shows up tomorrow but i never know because i dont get pms symptom and i never have pre af spotting. but my gyno says if i go the bcp route she would suggest that i been on them for 3 to 4 months that totally sucks any advice lately?

Has anyone ever had a HSG done, if so was it painful?

 

[sherylb]

Found a previous post I had read on a different thread

Had HSG this morning. Radiologist was happy with the results. Everything looks normal Placing the speculum felt just like pap smear, inserting tube in cervix was hardly noticeable but when they started to fill the contrast in my tubes I got cramping pain and I just wanted it to be over (I rarely get cramping pain during AF but when I do it feels just like it felt today). NY, I kept reminding myself to breathe deeper and it really helped. Thanks for advising Well, radiologist said he had to apply slightly more pressure to get the contrast flow through tubes and he thought there might have been some mucous sticking to it which is now removed so HSG according to him should be therapeutic to me. He said I can have intercourse anytime but will be a good idea to wait a day or 2 in case I am spotting or have pain. I am still passing sticky orangish-pinkish fluid (dye/contrast) along with fresh blood spots. I don't feel any pain though. I took 2 doses of doxycycline (12 hours and 2 hours before procedure) and 3 200mg Ibuprofen 30-40mins before. If I cramp again I can just take more ibuprofen, although I would like to avoid it. I'll try Instead softcups too this time although I have read online that they are inconvenient and hence not recommended for women with retroverted uterus.

Hi Guys just wanted to post an update, as a few of you know my last depo shot was December 2011. I have been waiting for AF to show. I went to a specialist in July and they took a ton of blood work and ran a bunch of tests........on July 23 they did a pregnancy test, of course it was negative as I hadn't even gotten AF yet. SO on July 24 I started provera, the plan was provera and then clomid.

The messed up thing is that my body ovulated AND I GOT PREGNANT while taking the provera. I got my bfp on August 5th. My betas were all over the place and at first I was told it was a chemical, but then after the #'s went back up and I was told it was ectopic and I had to get this shot called Methotrexate. Now I am waiting for my #'s to go back to 0 so I can start prenatals again and hoping to ttc again in November. You need to wait awhile after the shot because its so potent and depletes your body of all folic acid.

Anyway, thats my story, they say that the provera didn't have anything to do with it being ectopic. I am wonder if MAYBE it was because it was the FIRST egg/O in over 6 yrs and maybe that had something to do with it. Its really a miracle that I got pregnant that very first time my body ovulated.

Anyway, I am trying to keep positive and am hopeful and excited for the future. I am praying for a christmas miracle and a healthy baby, in the right spot, that sticks!!

Good luck to all of you!!!!!! Keep the faith, think positive and keep ttc! xooxoxox

 

[missjenn]

Sorry for your loss but thats great news that you were able to get pregnant so Im sure it will happen again soon! You're almost there!

I have heard of women going on BC after depo to get cycles normal BUT only for 1 month. ?????? Im not sure why you would "NEED" to do 3-4. I would say, go on it, but only take it for 1 month, then when you get that first period, you know you are back on track. and then stop the bc..........
how many AF's have you had since you stopped depo? If you are getting AF but its just longer, 45 days or so, i would say just leave it alone...........
getting AF is the biggest piece, well that and ovulating... are you ovulating? are you temping?
