Depo injection

Can someone help out, I was supposed to go for my injection in April but didn't want it, I've not seen a period. I'm getting boob pains, pains in my back and left side a lot. No period as of yet and I don't seem to be ovulating. What could this be? Also what do you think of this ovulation test I just taken?

Looks like you could be starting to ovulate, then you could start getting your period after if you don’t get pregnant. Your about similar time to me when I came off the Depo 18mths ago

It can take up to 18 months for the depo to get out of your system
The fact you're getting these symptoms sounds like your body is starting to reset itself

That ovulation test is negative, you might not ovulate before you get your first period too

I was on depo for quite a few years and it took over a year for my periods to come back! I wasn’t ttc at the time and didn’t track ovulation but it can take a while! Hopefully it comes back a bit sooner for you 🤞🏼🫶🏼 but it will come back! Xx

There’s always going to be a faint line at least on LH strip tests as there’s always some in your system. Wouldn’t say this line looks like ovulation any time immediately soon though. I’ve heard it takes quite a few months for things to settle after depot injections, had a friend who only got her first period almost 6 months after coming off but can’t comment personally x

how long did it take for your periods to come back? I know everyone is different x

I had come off the depo twice prior to this time and both times I took 9 months to bleed again. This time it’s taken me 4 months to bleed. I basically have had loads of sore boobs and cramping etc. I think it’s just because your hormones are trying to regulate. It can take upto 18 months for your body to fully regulate x

thank you x

Life is great as older single mom of 1, baby 2 at 45?

I’m 44 with a 5 year old and life is amazing. I’ve been raising this kid alone the whole time and I’m living a dream life where I live between the US, Thailand and Spain. I own a home, have a good remote job, keep my kid with me all day.

I want to have a second child. But not desperately. I’d need to borrow some semen from the bank and while I think it’s unfortunate to not know the origin of the semen and the possibility of 100 siblings , I’m open to it. My insurance covers IUI and IVF through my next birthday.

Would you start over as mom of an infant at 45 years old?

Am I pregnant?

Hi everyone 🤗 I got a really faint line yesterday at 10 dpo and this morning I tested at 11 dpo and I can't see a line 😭 is there still a chance I could be pregnant ?🙏 and my HCG is fluctuating because it's so early? This test was from yesterday

Pregnancy test

I took this pregnancy test and then a few days later I looked at it again and noticed a very faint line but then I took 3 more on different days and they all came out negative. What’s going on? I’m tripping out because I see it but my husband says he doesn’t.

Positive test?

Do yall see it? There’s the original and another one that I added sharpness to and stuff to see the faint liner more better. I took more and they came out negative. So I’m so confused. Also that line didn’t appear immediately I noticed it like the next day.

Any ideas what’s happening with my temp?

Thought I had ovulated but now I’m not so sure, I didn’t record my temp on a couple of days because I’ve been unwell with a fever so it was a lot higher than it should of been

Compression Socks

Hey, for how long did everyone keep their compression socks on? I am also on blood thinning injections for 6weeks. Many thanks
