Trying to conceive after depo injection

Posted , 4 users are following.

Hi every body !

i have already spoken to medical professionals about this with little to no luck so I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me.

I came off the depo this year (last shot was Feb, ran out in may), as me and partner would like to try for a baby...

i had been on depo for 7 years before coming off,

and got my first period back at the end of September this year... it lasted a week, I had a week period free and then another period for a week.

then 29 days later another period lasting around about a week, 

i am 'due' my period on Saturday (according to a cycles app)  however this week I have had really thick discharge, stomach cramps, constipation and today began nausea.

Is it common to have the symptom coming off of the depo?

is there any chance I could have conceived so early after coming off the depo?

all I seem to read are horror stories of infertility after depo, something I was not told about before going on to it!!

ANY advice or input would be appreciated 

thanks in advance

      Everybody body is different it could in some cases take 18-24 months to get your baby's cycle back into a full routine. Don't get too downhearted if you don't catch straight away it can take a long time. X
