TTC after Depo

Posted by: Hoping4ABaby on Thu Aug 19, 2010
Hi, I'm new to this forum. I was on depo shot for 3 years and I took my last shot in January 2010. I decided that it was time for me to stop using the depo so I did not go back for my shot that was due at the end of March, because my husband and I wanted to try to conceive. Plus I had totally lost my sex drive well on the shot.

I finally got my first period July 20th that last for 6 days. Then it came back on July 27th and lasted until August 3rd. For the past week I have been feeling mild cramps, dull back pains, nausea, and very tired. I tested (even though I figured that I was not pregnant and that it would be too early too tell) and of course it was negative. My doctor told me that it can take a long time to conceive after the depo about 6-18 months. I have not gotten another period yet nor do I know if I will get another one since I had two back to back.

Has this happened to anyone before? And is there even a slight chance that I might be pregnant?
