ttc after depo

yummymummyoftwo

i was hoping to get your expieriences with this
i have 2 children,after 1st i had depo till we decided to try again,it took me 12 months before af returned and another 6 months till i fell pregnant,then i had my son at 26 weeks,prob not related but no other explanation to why it happened,
my ds is now 4 and dd 7 and weve decided we'd like to ttc to make our family complete,i had depo after ds as we said we'd never go through it again,having him prem was hell but i suppose you cant go through life thinking what if
i was ment to have the depo in september and havent had one since june,but im having some awful side effects,like thrush,stomach ache quite a lot,and some others,i just cant remember if this is what happened last time,what are the normal symptoms and how long did it take to get your af back?

It can take a while... I would allow your body 12 months to regulate but get on the pill during that time as it will help regulate everything... when I came of it I had periods every 2 weeks - basically 1 week on 1 week off and they were heavy too - I was so exhausted! We tried several different types of pill to control it and eventually found one that agreed with me and I spent a couple of years on that before coming off and falling pregnant within a couple of months (actually first time we really tried!).
I've been on it twice and gained a lot of weight both times and I've had nothing but problems coming off them again with getting my cycle regulated again. Definitely go and see your GP and see what they suggest...

somebody mentioned about going on the pill to get everything back to how it should be but i never thought anymore about it,i know its going to take at least 18 months so i minght try the pill,although im very forgetfull with tablets,thats why i went on the depo

Have you thought about the implanon? Fertility is back to normal after 24 hrs of having it removed! I previously had depo, and the pill.
