Hello!
Thought id finally join up to share tips and worries with someone other than my husband and my mum!
Iv been on the depo contraception injection for 6 years and came off it in September. Initially didnt start trying to conceive because wanted my periods and my hormones to get back to normal. No periods have arrived yet and decided to just start trying. Although through wanting our 1st baby so much have even started buying ovulation kits as i have read that you can still ovulate without having a period. But as i guessed nothing is happening.
Has anyone else been on the depo and how long did it take for your fertility and everything to get back to normal or how long did it take to conceive?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, all i seem to do at the moment is long to be pregnant! xxx
:wave:
 
I havn't been on the injection before but I have conceived 4 times! TBH I have never used OPKs before this month and I am not going to bother using them again. All I have had it negatives and its starting to stress me out, so Im not going to use them anymore.

Hubby actually said to me the other day, that I never used them when we were trying for our other children so why now? And I couldn't answer him. We have always conceived fairly easily just by BD'ing every other day. If you do that then you are bound to catch the egg, as sperm can live for up to 7 days in your tubes. So some will either be waiting or you will bd on the day of ov.

Good Luck x
 
Thanks!
Im thinking the same thing tbh. Im just getting myself stressed seeing the negative all the time and i know that everyonesays to stop stressing and it will just happen but thats easier said than done!
Guess il just keep trying and whats meant to be will be. It doesnt help when everyone around you is pregnant either and im a primary school teacher so around children all day (although i am thankful that some of them r not my own!!!) Lol
Let me know how you get on! :)
Good Luck xxx
 
hi charlie
i had depo injections from march 92 till jan 96. my first af was july 96 i had normal cycles from then . we did not chart or anything just carried on using no contraception got the bfp in jan 98 . so it took approx 20 months from missed depo to catch on.
 
Thanks, thats reassuring to know.
It is so frustrating that so many people accidently fall pregnant when we are trying so hard to have a baby!!!

Glad you got you BFP! xxx
 
Not been on the injection but welcome.

Loads of people are preggers around me, there are baby clothes everywhere and I'm also a teacher (special needs) and the kids act really young and it's kinda like teaching lower primary so i get where you're coming from there too!
