Didn't have my August injection, not going to use that method any more.

Anyone know when I can expect normal periods to start?

(And am I safe to wear white jeans tomorrow?)

sorry, don't know, i went crazy on the injection so had to come of it, just went on the pill when my injection was due.

No, I don't need the basket I just got fed up of being so blardy FAT! I wasn't the skinniest person before, but a reasonable size 12/14. Since being on the injection I have just ballooned and the worst thing is... my clothes are getting tighter!

grr

So have told dp I want to be thin (ish) again and he has to sort out that side of things

could be anytime - no way to predict. Sometimes takes longer if you have used Depoprovera for a long period of time but may be 12 weeks and 5 days after your last jab.

thanks.... Think I'll go with the black (elasticated) trousers then, just in case

I suppose the one way to guarantee it would be to wear the white jeans though!

i stopped having depo in august last year after having 3 shots and periods arrived back in feb this year but are still not regular! Previously it took a year to get periods back and 18 months before they were regular!

squonk, I had a big bleed when I stopped taking it then six months with nothing. First month back I got pg with dd2.

ah, right, bonkerz, thanks. gosh! That's a really long time! I didn't expect it to be that long.

Glad we're not ttc-ing!
