And Im out for another month.

Only out for two weeks.... Unless long cycle.

 

[missjenn]

I have a 29 day cycle like clock work.

 

[Amy89]

I'm out!

 

[missjenn]

Sorry to hear Amy

I'm actually not trying for a baby and I'm on the depo but I think I may be pregnant. Could that be possible??

 

[sherylb]

It does happen. Depo can cause similar symptoms though. Did you test?

On a different note, my depo is wearing off and I am getting Mirena on Wednesday.

 

[Shannon95]

Yeah, I've done a couple and there's been a faint line

 

[sherylb]

I think you should try to get into your OB tomorrow. It will settle it either way.

When I last spoke to my nurse and told her I think I am, she said it's the water infection that's causing the symptoms because a week after I started getting the pains, I was told I have one but I actually feel pregnant and my boyfriend says I do look bloated and it looks like I have a little bump coming on and my boobs have changed loads so I really do think I am but the nurse is saying I'm not as the water sample came back negative but it was after that there was a faint line, could it have been too early to tell?

You can get prego whole on Depo. I had a nurse no tried to talk me out of it as she gained weight and conceived two kids while on Depo.

I gained weight on the implant, not so much on Depo.

Hope you get your af soon. One time, when stopping Depo, it took 6 months for af to return. When she did she was perfectly regular. A doctor can give you a pill to induce af if you don't have time to wait.

Hey ladies its been awhile but just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing
AFM I've been off depo for 8months now. I got af back the same month I got off which was June 2012 they still aren't clock work but my cycles are finially normal length. Just had an ultrasound and bloods done. Ultrasound came back great and confirmed I did O on CD15 this cycle heard that news from doc today & my heart literally jumped out my chest I was borderline speechless lol. I'm 13dpo today but I'm feeling a lil out due to lack of symptoms but af is due in two days & I don't have any af signs that I usually do get anywhere from three day before to a full week before AF. Doc told me I have BV (bacterial vaginosis) this cycle so taking anti biotics thinking now after googling it that it make be what have prevented a BFP this cycle so I'm supper excited about the next cycle.
Lots of love & baby dust

That is great news! My last depo shot was officially 12 months ago today. I'm really hoping that this month will be my happy month! You're not out until you're out so good luck this month and if not...then much to look forward to for next month! It was confirmed a few months ago that i do ovulate but I think the issue is with my period being too light. I get it like clock work every month but it only lasts 3-4 days and super light. two days of light flow and then 2 days of just spotting really. I have an appt on the 27th of this month so i can discuss that with the gyno. My biggest fear is that this means I wont get pregnant. Good luck to you!!!!

 

[sherylb]

Forgot to mention - I went back on depo until my DD was 14 months old but now have Mirena. Hopefully if we do decide we want another it won't take long.

to those TTC

As expected the witch is here. Bright and early this morning when I took my first wee lol but no worries for me as this is my first 28 day cycle since coming off depo. & for some reason I knew I wouldn't feel completely "normal" until I got to this point. So I'm feeling great today about af. Tho it means no BFP but I have high hopes for next cycle. Still on the meds for the BV have to take them for seven days but doc says it will be gone in three so hopefully my balance down there will be all comfy for those lil swimmers during fertile time. I know every pregnancy is dif but I did fall preg the second time me and the hubby ever had sex lol crazy I know right? I had a mc & fell preg with our son the next cycle so I'm Hoping after getting back normal Rom depo I'll revert back to my "fertile mertil" ways lol
@Sheryl your right my face looked just like that when I read that haha you went back on the horrible depo? Well I guess its not as had the second time around now that you know the truth about depo and what works to get a BFP after coming off. & if you the hubby decide to have another I pray that the lord delivers the blessing in consideration of time
@missjenn congrats! Happy should I say anniversary? Lol definitely a date to celebrate I hope this is the month for you I will have fingers & toes x'd haha where are you in your cycle now?

I just turned 27 this week and Mirena is good for 5 years so Kristin will be 6 when I get it out if not before. We don't want another one at this point though so would probably get fixed at that point or have another.

And my doctor didn't give me the option of getting an IUD when she was born. She said they would require me to have a period before they would give me one and since I was BFing I wouldn't get one but could still get pregnant. So I did Depo until I could get an IUD. I waited just long enough because as of 1/1 it was covered 100% (and most any other b/c method) under Obamacare.
