We have been trying for 10 months. I guess I knew it wouldn't happen, though occasionally I let myself believe.

Quick background story.

On the depo for around 2 or 3 years, stopped in the September, took microgynon to force a period in October. Fell November, clearblued in the dec.. BFP. Absoloutly over the moon and very very lucky. Perfect pregnancy and birth.

I went back on the injection when she was about 9 months I think. She's just 3 now. I stopped the injection 10 months ago, and having considered myself super fertile... well. Honestly. I thought I'd have swollen ankles and be nearing my due date now. Sigh. We were naive to say the least.

We've actively tried, despite knowing it was unlikely with no periods. Got a bit OPK obsessive. All neg.

We have a scan next week to determine any issues... cysts etc.

I got a bit desperate and took some cerazette I had been given by the doc after coming off injection. I got a week in but kept forgetting so decided I was likely to cock it all up further and ditched them ..... I've just had a period for 5 days. Google says withdrawl bleed but given how many I took I'm not sure. I'm so confused. . Swaying between ecstatic that I've finally bled, and that we might finally have a shot at actually conceiving now. ... and being terrified about what's going on.. The Internet is riddled with stories of depo injection and infertility.

I'm confused. I'm scared. I don't know what is happening with my body. I just.. We just want to complete our family and I'm beginning to feel like it's not going to happen.

And now I have rambled and I sound panicky and I'm just upset.

If anyone has any help to give me. I'd love to hear it.

Just wanted to send hugs.
There's always hope and our ds is proof that miracles do happen (natural conception after 10+yrs of trying and 3 x ivf).

I don't know how helpful this is but it took me a year to get pregnant with dd1 after coming off depo.

Rhonda, when did your cycles return and/regulate?

Thankyou imsorryiasked ..I'm so glad you got your baby in the end.

Apologies for frantic post.. I shouldn't have Googled.

I just feel scared that I don't feel connected with my body.. like I have no idea what's going on in there or if it's working and that deeply worries me.
