In fact, took 6m for me to get a 28 day cycle again. Before that, they were very long, coming off the depo.</p> <p>2nd pregnancy (ended in MC): I was 2 days late to one shot and got pregnant. But, I had only had one shot before that. So, I wasn't on depo long enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-depo-shot#post-939436 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 15:28:31 +0000 mamimami 939436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I have no personal experience but a friend was late getting a shot and like @littlek SURPRISE. So you never know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-depo-shot#post-939413 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 15:20:04 +0000 littlek 939413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a big surprise when I missed one of my shots. So, I think it really depends on the person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-depo-shot#post-937395 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 00:21:38 +0000 ShellVee 937395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I came off last October (9 months ago) been TTC for 6 months and no luck yet :( I had a 2 month period after stopping depo (blah) and after that I've been back to a regular cycle - charting telling me I have been ovulating too. Good luck I hope it doesn't take as long, honestly if I realised it would take so long I would've started trying as soon as we possibly could - and possibly not taken the shot in August to have given it more chance to get out of my system before our original TTC date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-depo-shot#post-930692 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 19:24:05 +0000 MrsStar 930692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for your reply @mmollison! Sorry you haven't had any luck so far. I' having what I think is my period (started on the 12th) so I cancelled my appointment for wednesday and hope my cycle comes back. I was told with my first dose that it can take up to a year to leave your system so I think we'll use condoms until early next year and then start trying properly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-depo-shot#post-930574 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 17:57:49 +0000 mmollison 930574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think if you want to avoid the feeling of fertility problems pull it now and just play safe for the next year!<br /> if id known it would take this long for us id never have even gotten my first shot i was on for 2 years.. every month AF comes i cry for a few days</p> <p>i wish you the best of luck in your future baby making plans </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-depo-shot#post-930566 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 17:54:52 +0000 mmollison 930566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ive been off the depo since last august and no luck for us :(<br /> ive had my cycle back since march too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-depo-shot#post-924416 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 19:20:30 +0000 MrsStar 924416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thankyou! I was told when I got the first shot that it could take up to a year for it to leave your system which I wasn't worried about at the time because I didn't think I would want another baby again so soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-depo-shot#post-920556 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 18:10:37 +0000 T.H.O.U. 920556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsStar: good luck. She actually got pregnant on a fluke without her period ever coming back. I think it was over six months after her last shot </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-depo-shot#post-920246 Wed, 10 Jul 2013 15:57:45 +0000 MrsStar 920246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the reply! I think I'll talk to dh tonight about the possibility of not getting the shot next week. Just means we're back to condoms! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-depo-shot#post-917391 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 19:50:17 +0000 T.H.O.U. 917391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsStar: my friend had s really hard time getting it out of her system. I think quite a few months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ttc-after-depo-shot#post-916916 Tue, 09 Jul 2013 18:05:24 +0000 MrsStar 916916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey ladies,<br /> Just looking to hear your experiences on getting pregnant after being on the depo shot - mainly how long it took.<br /> LO is currently 9 months and I've been on the depo shot since 6 weeks pp, I've also been breastfeeding this whole time. DH and I are looking to get pregnant next year and since I have an appointment for my next shot next week I'm seeing how long it took you to get pregnant. The original plan was next week's shot was going to be my last but if I need a longer period of time to get it out of my body then I'll cancel next weeks appointment.</p> <p>Oh and also, I still haven't had AF, just a small amount of spotting in the past 2 weeks.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
