My name is Lauren(21) I live in Virginia Beach VA with my husband Eric(23), who is in the military, and our two cats - also, my mother is living with us temporarily right now. We have been ttc #1 since going off depo in October. I am still not having regular cycles yet and an hsg found left tube blockage, also on the male side we have low morphology. A laproscopy was recommended to see about correcting my blockage, with clomid to follow, but we have decided to see if we can get anywhere on our own first. However, true to the military, my husband will be absent for several months coming up soon, so I guess that means everything will be on hold for a bit. This may be a good thing though, as maybe my cycles will have regulated themselves by the time he returns and we will be granted with a blessing. So that is me in a nutshell and I do look forward to getting to know you all better.

Like I mentioned I have been off depo since October. My bleeding/spotting has gone like this:
December 19-26
February19 - March 5
March 12-19
April 9-16, 21-26
My question is, did you ladies have bleeding like this after coming off depo or is this something to be concerned and see my doctor about? Thanks.
Lauren

Everyone is different, from what I've found. This is just "normal" for you. The biggest suggestion would be to start charting your temps you can use programs like fertilityfriend.com to help determine if you are even ovulating. Knowing exactly when you ovulate with greatly increase your chances of catching that egg even with all the medical problems you are facing. It's like having a road map to you destination.

You will be able to learn a lot about your cycles and body. See if your LP (Luteal phase) is normal and consistant, it will even show if and when depo leaves your system as well. It also gives us a visual to help interpret your cycles as well.

For me I bled for 3 months straight NON STOP! Some don't bleed at all, it really just depends on the chemical make-up of ones own body.

Please stop by often and tell us what is happening and how things are going.
