I went on depo right after my dd was born may 5. 03 and my last shot was due to wear off april 22, o5. af visted july27 and aug.26 and not again until oct.1st and i haven't had a vistit since. i have been charting my self for 15 days and no o has been detected. I have also been taking fertilaid to try to balance my hormones for 10 days.can anyone tell me whats going on and if the fertilaid will help. And most of all is this common.

Don't expect quick fixes and return of a normal cycle. It can take a good 9-12 months AT LEAST before that happens and sometimes it can take up to 3-5 years for a normal cycle to appear for some. It really depends on your body and how it handles depo as it leaves your system.

Your body just still isn't ready. It is still detoxing from the depo. Depo puts your body into menopause so sometimes it may need a hormone jump start to get things going again.

My body seems to have a 10 month timer after depo, but everyone is different. I know it is easier said than done, but the best think to do is not stress about it to much. The depo will wear off and you will start ovulating just as soon as your body is ready to carry a baby, stressing about it to much just makes that time go slower. Drink alot of water and eat lots of fresh fruits and veggies, try to make your body the best it can be in order to carry that wonderful bundle that you know will be well worth the wait. It is very hard to wait but that all goes away in the end when you are holding that baby. GOOD LUCK! I hope your stay is short but sweet!
