I never thought I'd be in this situation, but then again, I guess anywho who struggles to conceive never does... I guess I just figured with being so young and healthy that it wouldn't be a problem. But as I sit here, advoiding getting dressed for work, I keep putting a hand on my stomach just aching for the day that a little one is growing inside of me.

I wish I would've never started the Depo shot. I was young and in high school. Still a virgin at that. I was in my first relationship and experiencing love. A friend suggested the Depo and without any research, I quickly went to the health department and got my first shot. 6 years later and happily married (to a different man), we decided to ttc. I stopped my shots. A year later and nothing. Not even a single positive pt.

My OB explained that my body is still trying to get the remainder of the Depo out of my system and it can sometimes, rarely but still, take several years. YEARS?! What?!

:(

There is nothing I want more in my life than to be pregnant with a baby that was made with the love my husband and I have for each other. I think about being pregnant more in a day than I'm willing to openly admit.

I'm here to share my journey and to learn from other's who have gone through what I'm going through. And God willing, one day I'll be able to share the big news that I'm pregnant.
 
I feel the same way about it. I was only on it for two shots and I am experiencing a lot of troubles ttc. It'll be a long road I'm sure but things happen for a reason and when you do get your positive it'll bring more joy than you could ever imagine. Good luck to you and your husband!
 
Im sorry your going through this :( I had one depo shot a couple of years ago and hated it. I then read up on it and saw how much it affects your fertility so never got another one. I really hope it gets out of your system soon- good luck x
 
Thanks, ladies. I wish I would've done more research at the time. We aren't in a huge hurry but I'd rather be pregnant now than later :( My husband wants to wait another year before we seek help so I guess all I can do now is to keep trying...
 
With you. I hate that I didn't research it and definitely think it affected me. Best of luck to you! Have your cycles regulated?
