New to the board, TTC after depo

Hi everyone. DH and I are TTC baby number 3. Our DD just turned 6 and our DS will be turning 5 this weekend. I wish I would have known more about the depo shot before I went ahead with taking it. It definitely was not worth what DH and I are going through now. Is anyone else here TTC after taking depo? I have one friend who had a positive experience going off depo and becoming pregnant. I'm currently on my 10th day after provera and still no sign of AF. My last shot was in September. I do have cysts on my ovaries but my doctor thinks they will go away on their own once AF comes. I appreciate any feedback you ladies may have.

    Hello,

    I went through a similar situation. Are you seeing a GYN or RE? 

     I was on depo for a few years, stopped and got on another form of bc, stopped that because I wanted to give my body a break. I eventually got back on depo for a month because I was about to get married and didnt want to worry about getting preg around my wedding or honeymoon. I had ONE depo shot in Aug 2012 and that was the last one that I had up until December 2014. My GYN tried two different types of bc pills (Provera and another combination) and none worked so they referred me to the RE. I had all the tests done (HSG, SONO, SA, bloodwork) and they came back normal. I went in for my clomid consult with the Nurse Practitioner and she put me on 3 weeks of bc pills and my cycle came a few days after finishing the pills!!! I was so excited, lol.

    I say all of that to say, dont stress they will figure it out. My RE eventually figured it out and all it took was 3 weeks worth of regular birth control pills. I really thought something was wrong with me, but they assured me that I was fine and it was just something that my body was going through. I have now had my cycle for 3 full months and Im soooo over AF and all her baggage! But DH & I benched ourselves to get my body used to having a cycle and hopefully when we are ready it will result in a BFP!!!

    DH & I: 31

    (Me: Anovulation)

    HSG, SONO, SA.. Normal

     Jan '15- Clomid 50mg, Ovidrel, IUI#1-- BFN

    Benched until Summer 2015

    I am also TTC after depo. My boyfriend and I thought provera would be perfect, since I had just miscarried and wanted to wait a little while before trying again, so I got the shot in August. Soon after, I read that it can stay in your system for a year and that people were having trouble conceiving, so I never went back. I had been on depo before and it took three years for me to get pregnant and I was worried it would take that long again. (My first was a surprise as I didn't think I could get pregnant since I hadn't in three years).
    I got my first AF in January but didn't get pregnant when I normally would have ovulated. So we continued to have sex normally and hope for the best.
    I started wondering if I was even ovulating with my periods so I bought the test strips and have been going through them like a crazy person hoping to see the matching lines. I'm not certain, but they were the closest in color they have ever been yesterday and it correlates with my expected ovulation so I'm hoping this is the month we conceive.
