DS is 11 months and am still breastfeeding him. I haven't had a period since having him and have had Depo shot (only the once!)

Am wondering whether I am even ovulating and if so, how to tell?

Please speak very slowly ....

Well I 'only' had the depo shot twice and it took me a year to get my periods back, and even then I didn't ovulate for another few months.

I doubt you are ovulating if you've had depo and not had a period yet.

I know nothing about the depo.

But if you're ovulating and you don't get pg then you will have a period. So, no period, no ovulation.

But like I said, know nowt about depo.

if you are still breastfeeding it can affect your period. wait till after weaning and you dont see your period before you can get worry. at atleast 3 months after weaning. no drug for now because there is nothing wrong with you. if you are desperate to get pregnant, them wean your child

you don't need to wean your child to get pregnant.

Lots of signs will show you are fertile, and thus ovulating. I know you are having no periods but they return at any point , so look out for these:

A high soft open cervix
Stretchy cervical mucus that looks like egg white

Have sex every other day during your fertile time

have heard tales of depo being an arse for period 'get back'
