Guest guest Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 I didn't get my first cycle after going off of Depo until 4mos later and that was AFTER I was put on Provera/Estrogen to jump start a cycle and that was basically nothing to it! I then did 4mos of Clomid to no avail but heavier periods! *~Joy~* Lap RNY @ 491lbs 2/26/01 Mommy to: (5) , Saralyn (4), Hunter (7/3/03) and #4 due sometime in September '04!

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 I wanted to relay my experience w/ Depo for you and maybe give you alittle hope. I was on Depo for over three years and was engaged to get married. I had gone off the Depo becuase we were getting married and started taking the pill. I tried two different kinds, because the first ones gave me a headache. The first month, I had a regular period and the second month I messed up on taking the pills on time and tadaaaaa I was pregnant a month before our wedding. After my pregnancy I went back on the Depo and stayed on it until about a year ago. I started having my periods after 2 months and been regular since then. I had WLS on 5/16/03 and am just know trying to get preg. so we will see what happens. I was 371 before surgery and down to 231, but I am also 6 foot tall. I am 31 lbs away from my goal. Good luck and you might give the pills a try to jump start things along.... - In OSSG-pregnant , " " wrote: > , > > THanks for the information.
