Hi all,
has anyone out there conceived after being on depo (the contraceptive injection)?

I have a strong feeling that I am pregnant (will know for sure tomorrow when the results come back from the Drs)

I have been on the depo for 6 years, but had my last injection in august after deciding with my fiance that we wanted to try for a baby. I knew it could take a LONG time to get back to normal, but i am experiencing a large number of symptoms which point to pregnancy.
the dr has also said that I am very fertile, so it is possible that I might conceive on my first ovulation, and therefore not have my period.

has anybody had an experience similar to this...????

HELP????

I have been on the depo for over 13 years. I stopped in October, got my first period in November and I became pregnant in March (i wasnt trying) and I only have 1 ovary. Maybe I am just uber fertile, but that is my story.
Good luck

I know this is an old post but thought I would reply - I was on depo happily for 4 years, it was perfect, no probs with it.
Decided to come off it in February as was told it would take a while for my body to get back to normal, let alone get pregnant ... I had one period then fell pregnant straight away!
over the moon of course but a lot sooner than we'd planned for!

hi there, just to say that i got pregnant while on it. i was taking it, but bleeding after 9 weeks, instead of 12. i had to start having th injection every 8 weeks to cover me. i was on it for about 8 months, and had all the symptoms of being pregnant, and did a pregnancy test, and i was. couldnt believe it!! that was with my second child, and so it was lovely. i always wanted 2 kids, and there was a good age gap between them. i then went on to the evra patch, where you put it on your arm (its like a plaster), you wear it for a week then change it. then every 3 or four weeks, you come off it to have a period. i was on it for about 3 months, then i was pregnant again, aaaaahhhhh. so it wasnt very reliable. or me and hubby are too fertile, haha. so the bottom line is you can get pregnant on it!!!!!

Look this is so all possible. In fact its pretty common for your body to place itself back on track completley by the third month. I think you are, especially if the doctor says your very fertile. If you need any more advice,( cause i know alot about stuff like this) just let me know here. Sounds to me like you are. And since you wanted to be, I can really say CONGRATS! Good luck, and let me know. Bye.

Sincerley,

I haven't heard of that happening to anyone i know- but i'm sure it's very possible. Just hold tight and wait for the results tomorrow.. and i hope it's what you expect it to be!! Let us know how it goes!

I came of the depro injection in august 2004 and have now been trying to get pregnant for just under 4 years. I was on Depro for about 5 years. The doctors can't explain why i haven't fallen pregnant yet. My sister got pregnant straight after stopping the injections but some like me it takes years and years

Keep trying though
