Ttc after depo injection :(
Hi there, I was n the depo injection (I had only one shot) and decided I wanted to ttc. It is now 19 weeks since depo injection and Ive had no period or spotting at all during or after. I went to Holland and Barrett 3 weeks ago and spoke to the lady and she recommended I take Dong Quai to get my periods back, Ive been taking this and still nothing. I was wondering about Angus Cactus but the only thing is I keep reading take it up to ovulation, I dont know if/when I am so unsure whatto do. Also do you think its maybe time I went to see GP now since no AF??

I would probably speak to your GP before you start trying different remedies. I was on depo for a year but came off it a year before ttc. I was due to top up in Oct 07 but didnt go for it & then had my 1st AF on 31st Dec, for a year after that they were quite irregular ranging from 28- 42 days until I conceived in the Oct the year after coming off.
They do say it can take a while for your body to get back to normal but then saying that if you only had 1 shot you would think that maybe you may have had something but everyone is completley different & if your periods were irregular before you went on it then maybe that is why
Discuss it with your GP & see what they suggest
Good Luck x
The depo stays in your system for 13 - 15 weeks at a time and works by
stopping the ovaries from releasing eggs
I was on the depo and my af went all over the place and went for 40+days to a 92day.
Went i spoke to the doc i was told it can say in your system for about 6 month well it messed mine up for about 12 :roll:
On the other hand when i was ttc my boy my depo was due at the end of nov anyway and had a BFP in dec
Good Luck and hope you have a BFP very soon xxxxx
Am on AC after coming off pill, am on CD44 and no sign yet - let me know if any luck with dong quai!! x
