Default First AF after Depo, now am I ovulating?

I know the best way to know is chart, but just generally. I had a normal, six day AF, I was due back in March for depo shot and did not take it, my depo before that was in Dec. So do i assume that now I am fertile? I know you guys would have more knowledge on this, and my doctor said it could go either way, different with different people.
Thanks.

I am new here so I wouldn't know if you might be ovulating. My guess would be yes but if not I would think that if you continue to have regular AF then yes you are. I'm glad to hear that you got AF so quickly after your last shot. It doesn't seem to be that way for so many women. My last shot was Feb 10. So, I'm hoping for AF soon. Dr said I have a cyst on my ovary but that may be from ovulation (I'm hoping!)

Do you have children already? I have 3 and I've always gotten pg quickly so waiting even this long has been hard. I was really discouraged to read of all the trouble people have been having getting pg after Depo. I feel so blessed to have my three and sometimes feel guilty for wanting one more.

Good luck...I hope you are ovulating

Nope, no kids. Hopefully soon :-)
It is hard to keep encouraged after reading how much trouble everyone has had getting off depo. My DH said he wasn't really ready to TTC until next year, I figured that would leave me plenty of time to get back to normal.

I think really the only way to tell if you are ovulating is by temping or using OPKs. I have read that it's possible to get even if you don't ovulate, although it might be less regular and lighter. I am also waiting until next year to TTC, and taking this year to get myself healthier and ready for . It sounds like if you already got your cycles back (did you get while on the depo?), then it's a good sign. It seems like a good idea to temp before you actually try so you know which days you should bd, so it's the most effective when you actually try (of course I'm sure your DH would argue that you should 'practice' even when it's not the most effective time!).

Good luck, and let us know how you're doing. We'd love to hear a success story!

Thanks.

Yes it's true some an get pregnant right away, and Lisa is right that the only way to really know it to either chart or use OPK's or you can wait a month and just baby dance a lot and if you don't see AF next month you can take a HPT!! LOL

There are the lucky few, we even have one member here who got pregnant right away after depo and then took it again and now is struggling to TTC. It's a crap shoot with the drug.

Good luck and keep us posted on what's going on!
