TTC After Depo Shot

[Kayleigh Lou]

Oh girls help!!!


Im abit confused

I just got a almost positive opk (as in one shade lighter than the control). But im still on my period??? Does it matter that im still seeing the . Can i still ovulate????

I am CD 10

I had 7 days of
then 2 days Clear
Then this morning. (well more spotting)

I dont know why i did the opk. I suppose just out of curiosity.

 

[Jaxvipe]

You could def ovulate on CD 10.. i did like 3 cycles ago. So the spotting could maybe be ovulation bleeding?? I'd do another OPK today and see if its + or lighter than yesterdays..

FX'd for you!!!!!!!

Hi all. I am ttc my 2nd child, my first is nearly 8. I went on to depo soon after she was born and came of it November 2008 so was on it quite a long time. My periods came back April 2009 and I am still not pregnant. I took temps for a few months and have used OPK and seem to be ovulating. I am worried that the depo has damaged me and I am never going to get pregnant.

Honeybee,

Hang in there You will get your bfp. I know very well what you are talking about. I'm praying every day that i do ov this cycle and have a bfp in Jan.

I had the depo shot for 2 1/2 years, it took me exactly 18 months to conceive after the last shot. Docs say it can take the time you had it to conceive so if you had it for a year it could take a year to conceive. Good luck. x

 

[Jaxvipe]

Welcome honeybee!!! Im so sorry you have had to deal with the evil depo shot. We are always here if you need to rant/vent/ or just talk!

Hang in there hun i know its hard

 

[honeybee91]

Thanks everyone. It is so fustrating and upseting.

I hope not, I was on it for nearly 7 years. Nobody told me that it could make ttc hard.

Nobody told me either, I know how frustrating it is having to wait!

Anyway girls I am getting +opk's every day of my cycle, what is that about, I am on 100mg of CLOMID and worried that i may be over stimulating.

 

[somedaymama]

Yeah, the doctors present it as being just like the pill, they say if you are even a week late getting the next shot you can get pregnant. I'd like to meet those people...

Doctors should really be required to give accurate information about the long-term effects.

 

[Jaxvipe]

I completely agree with you somedaymama.. its like they use that 1% of Depo users that get pregnant on Depo or 1 week after depo as the majority of women on Depo. Which was have unfortunately come to realize that is not so true.


So are you ladies doing anything to get your cycles on track/regulated?

 

[somedaymama]

I went on the pill right after coming off of depo, I was not intentionally to regulate my cycles but I think it is the reason I started getting periods right away.

Since TTC, I haven't done anything special. I'm seeing a RE in a couple weeks and hopefully they'll be able to help regulate my hormone levels, which should help regulate my cycles.

 

[Kayleigh Lou]

Welcome to all the new faces. I hope your stay here is short and sweet.

I am sorry to hear that like us you wasnt given the proper information about the depo shot. It really makes my blood boil!!!!!!!!! It a shame noone has sued yet. (im sure there are cases but its been hushed) Depo was actually banned at some point!!!!!

There is light at the end of the tunnel (it maybe a long one) But one of our girls from this group has just got her so there is hope!!!


I hope you enjoy your stay here with us. Although its very unfortunate circumstances im glad we have a group of girlies who are sooooo nice

 

[Jaxvipe]

So i finally got a positive OPK today Fx'd i will ovulate tonight!! Tonight we can BD tomorrow not so much. Going to be at my grandmas house.

Kayleigh did you get a positive OPK yet?

 

[somedaymama]

Yay for a positive OPK!! I hope you ovulate tonight. That sounds like a good Christmas present to me!

 

[honeybee91]

I am back on CD1 Now a year and 2 months since coming of depo.

 

[Kayleigh Lou]

Hope everyone enjoyed christmas!!!

Hi guys, I thought I would pop in, as I have been hearing so many stories about Depo that may be coming true, that I am certainly getting very worried now lol

I had my last depo shot in sept 2008. had af in Jan, thought that it was easier than expected, but then nothing til June. af appeared then nothing til sept. af again 4 weeks later, very exited at being regular again, but then had a 14 day cycle.

af 30th November, next af 14th december. Now I am waiting to Ov.

As I am pretty irregular I am not sure when or if it will happen lol and I have now been off depo for 12 months (as I was due in dec 08)

any advice or information would be great, as I was put on this by the doc after having my son at 16 and wasnt told that it would have an effect on my fertility (although they did say that it would probably stop my af, I should have guessed from that lol)

Anyway, thanks in advance girls. x

Hey ladies,
Well I would definitely fit into this category.. The shot has been "out" of my system for a year and 7 months, and I still am yet to see a BFP..I'm WITH you as far as not receiving the proper information.. actually I wasn't really given ANY information except that it was birth control.. and "effective".... I'll say! .. The depo shot was the worst decision I ever made in my life, and I was severely thrown off by it. I bled every day for over a year.. saw doctors who told me (there was nothing they could do) and after the first 3 months of bleeding they convinced me that it was normal for some, and if I got the NEXT shot it should stop.. boy do I regret that.. that brought along many more months of misery! Overall I have to honestly say between the non-stop periods.. and being sick alllll the time.. I am holding true to my nickname for the beloved depo.. "the devil shot".... I'm finally back to normal 'kinda' as my periods still come whenever they feel like it.. but at least I'm not sick all the time. So TTC is very complicated. But best of luck to you all Here's hoping for plenty of BFP's in 2010!
