Hello Everyone,, okay myself right now... lol

I created this group for many reasons! First of all, i was on depo and was ttc for a while after we went off and it was very stressful, not to mention expensive for testing because of symptoms after depo. I really would like this to be a place where we can talk, compare, give support and help each other. So let us know where you are and we can start more discussions from there!


about me? i am 30 (31 in a couple wks) married to the man of my life!! just got married in august after 3 yrs together. i was on depo for 8 yrs and went off just prior to our wedding, and am preggers now, it took 6 mths for me.

Whats your story??

hi I am Crys and it has been 15 months almost with no bfp and I had only one depo shot. It seems that you pg now so congrats! and is there anything you did differently/?

Hi,
I was on depo for about 7 years. I decided to get off it last year because of all the horror stories I'd read about women TTC after they'd been off it so I wanted to give it plenty of time to get out of my system before ttc. I had no AF the whole time I was on depo. My last depo was Feb 09 and got AF back in Sept. 09. I've been pretty irregular since then, so I'm hoping I'll become more regular and it won't affect me too much because we officially start TTC this summer/fall!

Hi All,
I'm new here to this site. I was on depo for almost 10 years but then when my husband and I got married I stopped getting the shot. That was 4 years ago...we've been TTC since last June, which is almost a year now. My husband is the best man in the world, but my frustration and sadness is starting to take a toll on him and I feel terrible about that. It's good to hear that so many of you are pregnant...I hope it happens for us soon. I think we're going to discuss seeing a fertility specialist soon. Keep your fingers crossed for us.

Hello everyone,
I'm new here. I was on depo for 1 year. Took my last shot June 1 this year. My dh and I got married July 30th. I was due for another shot Aug 23, but we decided it was time to start trying. I am very frustrated that my doctor did not inform me that depo could take so long to wear off. She gave me a booklet about it and I read it from cover to cover but of course that wasn't mentioned. I spotted regularly the entire time I was on it. When I stopped so did the spotting. I got a regular period Nov. 16 and thought depo effects were over and we could get prego. Now I am spotting again. I am starting to stress over it and was really disapointed. I know my husband really wants this. He keeps talking about it and how he doesn't want to be really old when we have a baby (he's 35, I'm 27). I know it will all work out in time. I just have to be patient.

Hey Sparkle!
your doc not informing you isnt even right! that sucks! but, you know what, after time, things will work again, like you said, be patient.

and just b/c you are not gettting a reg period doesnt mean you can get preggers! i know someone that has had very odd periods since going off and she got pregg in 6 mths to her surprise!

and, if you are stressing over it- you wont even have fun dtd anymore, so keep it fun!!

It took me from July '09 (when Depo was out of my system from april '09... only took 1 shot) til November '09 to even get some sort of bleeding happening and it didnt get regular til March '10... and then had a BFP in August '10 but lost it at 12wks in October We're TTC again this month hoping for a BFP tomorrow

I am very sorry to hear that, but a big fat GL!!! on your bfp!! i am looking forward to hearing!!

krys,,,,hows it going on ttc????

crys- i see you did well ttc! lol.. hows the baby doing? how are you? did you go back on depo? or what did you choose for bc??

Still here

Still here? what have you been doing lately? trying clomid or anything? or just trying natural?

haha funnily enough got a BFP today
I hope this one sticks after our m/c in Oct.

OMG! i am so excited for you!! keep me (us) posted! good luck and sticky dust your way!

Hey Guys, I'm new to just mommies but uh, I am currently TTC for number 1 and excuse me if you think its graphic but i had a period on June 24 and than became pregnant, at the time I was in no position to raise a child and so on August 17 I had an abortion (Please no judgement) Soon after (Sept 7) I got my first and last depo shot. I never went back for my second shot because soon after my situation drastically changed for the better, my husband and I decided we wanted to have a little one now that the situation called for it. I didn't get my first period AFTER the depo until Jan 24 I bled for seven days straight. Did the baby dance every day from the time my period ended to Feb 5 because I had ALOT of mucus with specs of blood and brownish pinkish discharge. I've been having very bad heartburn every night around midnight as well as random bouts of nausea....don't want to keep wasting money on tests...could I be pregnant already? What else could it be?
