Trying to concieve... After depo injection

2 replies

Hello, I'm 20 years old and have been off the injection for around 10 months now... my and my boyfriend have recently decided to try for a baby, I've had irregular, but mainly monthly periods, this last one seems to be the most normal period I've had when comparing them to the ones I got before depo... Do you think I will be ovulating and able to concieve? I've heard horror stories of people who have miscarried when trying to concieve too early after depo... Also, is there anything else that I could to boost my fertility and ensure I am doing the best for a future baby? Like my diet for example. I'm all new to this so sorry for loads of questions just really excited to start trying!

Hi Jadey,

I was on the depo for 10 years and it took 8 months for my periods to come back.

We started TTC 1 A little while after that.

After a year of nothing happening we went to the gp and we found out I was ovulating even though my periods were regular at 28 days.

The only way you can definitely tell if your ovulating is temping or blood tests. I cant do temping because I wake up to often but alot of women do.

You could also use a phone app to track your cycles and note literally everything because it is helpful further down the line.

On normal terms start taking folic acid, eat healthy and exercise.

I cut out alcohol I only have it rarely and I cut down on tea only have 1 cup 2 at the most.

Make sure your dp is doing the best he can to, a multivitamin might be good or him, no really hot baths or keeping a laptop on his lap (gets his boys to hot).

Good luck!

I just came on to ask a question about TTC after stopping Depo injections.

I'm a lot older than the OP (43 soon) and my DP and I have decided that we're not going to do anything to stop conception happening. I was due my Depo last week but have not booked in for it. I've ordered a job lot of OP test strips from Amazon and will plot my cycles as and when they happen to get an idea of when I'm ovulating.

Good luck OP xx
