I am ttc baby no.3 however after baby 2 i felt rushed into picking a contraceptive as i had a short time between both pregnancies and without all the facts i picked depo shot. Now i am learning the hard way it can take 3 to 18 months for my cycles to return after my last shot. While i know there is no "magical fix" has anyone tried anything that returned cycles? Feel like i am in limbo waiting on my period.

Ill try anything! Ive bled once for 3 days and nothing since. Testing daily with no positive opks either. No idea where im at in a cycle. So deflated

No help but I got my last depo in October last year then went on the pill, stopped taking the pill in April, and I’ve only just had a period last week. It can take forever, the last time I came off the depo I didn’t have a period for a year!

I can offer you hope from the other end of the scale. I was on depo long term, went back on it in between all of my pregnancies and had 3 children in 5 years.

DS1 took 6 weeks to conceive after coming off depo
DS2 took 12 months
DS3 took 6 months.

i suspect the breastfeeding didn’t help with the 2nd and 3rd too
