Periods after stopping Depo injection

[lilam15]

Hi just wondering what peoples periods after stopping Depo was like ? I was supposed to go for my Depo injection in march but decided not to as I want to have another baby and have had spotting for last 3-4 months but now have a bleed that has lasted 3 days so far but isn't really heavy at the moment should I class this as a period ? Also how long did it take to get pregnant once you had your periods back ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated .

It took 5 or so months for me to get a period and then I had 3 before I fell pregnant. They varied in cycle length by a week or so. I’d class your bleed as a period and track to see if another one emerges. Are you taking any supplements? I really believe they helped my hormones regulate after 2 years on the depo

Thank you for your reply I have been taking folic acid .

It took me 14 months to get my first period back and they were erratic for another 6 months. Had my last injection November 2012 so in theory started wearing off February 2013. First period April 2014, conceived about January 2015.
