I was wondering how many of you had been on the Birth Control shot ( Depo ). I really think that is what was wrong with me.

huh...............if you mean the Depo-provera injections, then i'm NOT surprised!
i was on those and was told it could take up to 18 months for me to get pregnant, if not LONGER because i was on it for nearly 3 years!
and guess what..............looks like their RIGHT!.......i'm still not pregnant!
and i came off the injections in June!.....nearly 8 months ago!
i'm soooooooooooo frustrated!
if i had known it would take so long then i would NEVER have had the injections!

I was on them for about a year but I have been off for about 3 now. After I got off them I never had EWCM anymore so I can't help but wonder!!!!

Ugh. I gained something like 30 pounds in a month--come to find out, my body doesn't react well with increased progesterone. (This is also the reason that I gain very quickly with pregnancy and with periods.) I was on Depo for 5 years, off for 1 1/2, then went back on. I got pregnant ON Depo!!! I apparently had very low progesterone and Depo raised it to the point of being able to get pregnant. That's what the docs figured because I had normal progesterone levels when they checked during the pregnancy. Still, it was a "bad" pregnancy and didn't go well or last. I will NEVER go back on it and I would NEVER recommend it to anyone...never.

I think that it screwed with ALLLL sorts of stuff. It makes me sad just to think about it!!!

Well I gained tons of weight with it also. I was eating less and gaining more I was amazed that I gained it so fast.

My SIL's cousin got pregnant on Depo and she did not know that she was pregnant till she went in labor 2 months early she got the shots the whole time. As you can guess she was not a little person but you would think with her already having 2 kids she would know.
