TTC post depo?

[CloeiRose]

Hi guys!

Hope everyone is well in these crazy times!!

I guess I will just get right in to it. My husband and I have been TTC since January/February. I had my last depo injection November 4th 2019 (2 days after we got married). Since then I have had 1 period July this year, it was 11 days long. Since then I have had the odd day of spotting or cramps and a thousand negative pregnancy tests 😔.

I have ovulation strip tests, but with nothing to indicate when I should take them we are at a bit of a loss and this evening we ordered a BBT thermometer.

I have been taking folic acid and pregnacare conception tablets and tried agnus castus for a couple of months (wouldn't be against getting it again i just ran out and haven't gotten around to ordering more because I wasn't really sure they were helping)

Sorry that was long winded, any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks!!

Depo can take a long time to leave your system - I think the average is 10 months. I've also recently come off it, I had my last injection in February and my period didn't come back until the end of September. If I were you I would wait to TTC until you are having regular periods, otherwise as you say you've got nothing to go on. I know how frustrating it is, I'm fairly sure I have only just started ovulating again in my last cycle which is my third since they returned. Would never touch depo again!

Agreed, never going near the horrible thing again!

I guess when I say ttc, we are just doing the deed and hoping for the best with nothing preventative haha. Its so frustrating after having 1 period and the literally nothing since. I thought with that 1 we were getting somewhere!

I had my last depo in injection in July 2019 and have only started having regular periods for 3 months. I didn’t have any periods at all until April and then like you really long periods.

However, I’ve just started using opks this month and it’s saying that I’m ovulating so hopefully that’s true...

I’m sure once you’ll start having more regular periods in the next few months and I don’t think there’s any harm in starting measuring bbt now.

Good luck
