hi ladies just to let you know it was 28 days this time but was a lot heavier than usual and seems to be lasting longer so maybe i am having a clear out and its a good thing.it was also 1 year to the day of my last depo shot that i came on so maybe a good sign too .good luck to everyone .x

thanks ladies i have now been off all forms of contraception for over 3 months and i think my cycle is slowly getting back to normal firstly 30 days but i think that was to do with the pill (and it lasted nearly 3 weeks ) then 46 days then 37 days  .so i hope my next one (if i get it ) will be 28 days away and back to normal then i may have a chance .xx

When I had my first i had forgotten a few pills and viola lol. But this time, I was in mirena for a few years then bc for like 2 or 3 months, and dh and I had been ttc for 6 months. Had a mc now have another bfp. So I think it really all depends. I didn't think I'd have such a hard time this time.
Good luck to you and give yourself sometime to return to normal

I feel the same way! I had one shot and now I wish I had never done it! I was so regular before u could tell what day it was by me! But my bf and I decide we wanted to wait (he didn't want another just yet) one month into it he told me he was! Ah!

thanks ladies all very helpfull just going to carry on for a while and keep track of everything .wish i had never had depo now but at the time did'nt want another baby .i was hoping being on the pill for 4 months after depo might have helped with the regulating but obviously not .

I was on the depo as well. And it does really mess u up. I've only been of 4 months but bc I don't have a period I plan to ask my gyno. It can stay in ur system that long tho. I had 1 shot only and have very little hope of getting pregnant in the next year. But it really depends on ur body. Bc both my mom and my sister got pregnant ON the shot.

I came off birth control and wasn't necessarily trying right away. I had a feeling it would take me a while to get back on track and it did. My cycles were still messed and it was over a year that I still didn't have it to a tee. I did get pregnant after a year and 1 month of being of birth control and really trying for 2 or 3 months, miscarried at 5 weeks and got pregnant again 3 months after that.
Good luck...just keep track of your cycles and try to find a trend or see if there are signs of when you are ovulating.

thanyou for your reply i concieved easily the first 2 times but as i was on depo i think i may have done something this time as before going on it i was as  regular as clockwork the nurse said don't miss a shot as you can get pg but when i came off it she said it can take up to 1 year to get my fertility back so go figure .as for ovulating i think i did on day 24 but not sure.thanks again for replying xx

After coming off of my bc my cycles were completely erratic every month. After 8 months I stopped ovulating and having periods and ended up having to use clomid. I conceived after 14 months of ttc.
