TTC After Depo Shot

[Kayleigh Lou]

I did notice on your chart that dip and was going to mention it. Maybe i should start temping again. Oh really wants us to take it easy and go with the flow but that obviously aint working.

Full Steam ahead methinks.

But hes working nights this week so no chance of HUMPH!!!!!!!!!

=( yea my temp has stayed that same for the past 2 days now, im hoping its just starting to get into a pattern but who knows! I'm kind of stalling on the BCP thing because i really want my body to just sort itself out, but im so impatient!!

I think temping is good because you can kind of get an idea of where your hormones are at. Like the higher temps mean more progesterone is in you system i think and then the lower temps are more estrogen.(i believe)'

FOR US!!!

 

[Kayleigh Lou]

I've gone back onto FF so ill start temping Thursday morning as i need a thermometer. Off to the shops tomorrow morning.

Some people have mentioned Angus Castus. Again not sure if its prescription but i know ebay do it. Supposed to regulate periods and bring back those who've gone off somewhere

 

[Jaxvipe]

I tried it for like a month and i stopped taking it and my temps have seemed to normal out more not taking it then when i was taking it. So, i dont know! lol And i did read that if you are spotting or bleeding you should stop taking it because it means that your body is trying to regulate. Seeing as how i spot like every other day, i just stopped because i didnt know want to screw anything else up.

I also heard that False Unicorn Root is AMAZING for women coming off of Depo. I bought some liquid stuff but it was so nasty i couldnt even drink it! Maybe i will try the pills.

 

[Kayleigh Lou]

hmmmm another thing ill look into

Hello Ladies!

How is everyone doing today?

 

[Kayleigh Lou]

Ive put on tons of weight. NOT HAPPY!!! I got my Bros 18th sat and the dress i bought now doesnt fit.

Hows you

 

[Jaxvipe]

haha SAME! i swear i have put on so much weight just in the past 2 weeks, i almost look like im pregnant because its all in my tummy! UGH its makes me mad!!

Well my temps have stayed the same for the past 3 days, so i dont know if thats a good sign? they are low so hopefully i am getting ready to ovulate!! i have given up on OPK's because i keep getting almost positive OPK's but then nothing so im done with those lol..

 

[Kayleigh Lou]

Yeah mines my tum too!!!!!!!! How weird??!!

I gave up on opks too as i was getting the same outcome as you. Temps Sounds like a good sign to me. I forgot to buy a thermometer today :doh: So forgetful. Decided im not going for the Angus Castus as it can bugger you up more and was used to decrease sexual desire. NOT GOOD. Although my hubby would probably appreciate it. He thinks im some sex crazed woman at the moment!!! Poor him lol

 

[Jaxvipe]

Yea, as soon as i stopped taking the Agnus Cactus it seemed like my hormones got better. Which is weird but oh well. And the whole sex drive thing sucks, mine was low anyways from the Depo and then add A/C on top of that it was like non existent. My hubby wants the opposite, he wants it all the time and im just like eeeh not right now lol. It sucks wanting to have a baby but not wanting to try and make one lol

 

[Kayleigh Lou]

Hubby wants it all the wrong times. I sometimes feel im nagging him and it makes me feel awful. All i want is his whats wrong with that lmao

 

[Jaxvipe]

Same here he always wants it right when i come home from work, and all i want to do is sit on the couch and relax for a little bit lol

 

[Kayleigh Lou]

Typical men!

 

[Jaxvipe]

Are u buying a BBT thermometer this week? I really want to see what your temps are at =) Everything i can find on BBT temps after Depo is that they are high showing an increase in the synthetic Progesterone. But my temps are in the "normal" range, so i am confused. I HATE THIS WAITING GAME!

 

[Kayleigh Lou]

I think my periods come. Its not like the spotting i had when i first came off. Cervix low soft and open and browny nastiness. Keep your fingers crossed for me

Yeah ill be going shops today to get one

 

[Jaxvipe]

FX'd for you!! That would be awesome if you got your period already!! For me that spotting has stopped i have had some pretty bad cramps the past couple of days. i have an appt with the doctor on tuesday to talk about going on birth control for a month to help regulate my cycle...

 

[Kayleigh Lou]

think it was just spotting..nothing since this morning!

 

[Jaxvipe]

Oh hun! Im sorry. I know how you feel one morning i woke up and it was almost like a light flow and then it all stopped and i got super sad. Now i have like no spotting and im torn between whether or not that is a good or bad thing.

Hello,
I asked a question on this blog last time, but I’m guessing nobody didn’t have the interest to answer my or just didn’t see it. I wanted to know something. Did anybody in here had a bad experience with Depo-shot? I had my first and I should say my last shot back in 2006 I haven’t had one since. When I had the shot...I didn’t like the effect from it...The joint pain and also I haven’t had a period for all most 10 or 11 months after the first shot...And I was told after you get off. Your body goes back to its self again and you get your periods...Not for me...it wasn’t until a whole year and a half later I started to have my periods. I do not have the money for a RE to give me any meds for to bring on my periods...And when they finally came. My cycles been bad...I’ve had periods that were a to long...
Couple of months I had periods where I went for the half of the month bleeding...Then it went to having 2 periods in a month...

 

[Jaxvipe]

I have had some side effects from it like my face broke out SUPER bad and i hardly ever get pimples i might get one or two before AF is due but nothing like what i was experiencing. I have also had spotting off and on for a month, bad lower back pain, moodiness, depression, cramping, and the HORRID weight gain. I have read that it can take up to a year to get your periods back after depo. Although if you are having very heavy bleeding for long periods of time i would suggest going to like planned parenthood or something and they can either give you something to stop the bleeding or BCP to try and regulate your cycles. I have an appt with Planned parenthood on tuesday to discuss one month of birth control to help regulate my cycle.

Hopefully this helps you and SO SORRY we missed your questions a while back.

for you!
