bleeding and not sure why...depo??

I have been waiting for today, the day that my depo was due. I am trying to get pregnant immediately, but I know that it will be a struggle.
Well, I started bleeding yesterday, and I have no idea what to think of it. I am trying to figure if it is because my shot is due, but it has never done this before. Today, I am cramping so bad that I can barely stand, it has never done this before either. Does anyone think that this is my menustration or is it just the shot messing me up some more. Please someone help me.

Its hard to tell Depo does strange things to the body and everyone is different.  Some have reactions and some dont. If you are TTC after stopping depo It could take between 12-18 months and its best to talk to your Dr since the depo can stay in your system that long.  If you are worried about the bleeding I would call the Drs office and ask them.  It could be you regular period but then again is anything regular while on depo? It wont for me!! Best of Luck!

When I came off depo I didn't have the bleeding but I had cramping really bad like I was going to get my period. Within 6 weeks of coming off depo I was pregnant. So I wish you the best of luck.. and yes you can get pregnant without having a period when coming off of depo.. I'm living proof! BABY DUST TO YOU
