I was on the depro vera shot for 6 mon, but it was making me sad and moody etc, so then I switched to alesse and i just went off of it last weekend. i was supposed to get my period on sunday, but didn't. I know i am not pregnant (did a test). Right now my husband and i are using no birth control. we are using the ovulation calendar. i know it is not the most reliable, but the hormones did not go well with me. i just don't know how reliable it is right now cause i didn't get my period when i was supposed to. i have been doing a lot of research and i read that it takes a women an average of 8 mon, to get pregnant after the depro shot because of all the hormones. i guess i wanna know if any of u have gotten pregnant right away atfer the shot. but if we do get pregnant we r ok with it.

thanks for reading this!
