Here we go! When I was 16 I began taking the Depo shot. I got married at the age of 23 and stop taking the shot. My menstrual finally became regular 6 months later. I am now one month from 26, married for almost 3yrs and still nothing? I have been trying for 2 years now. I have been told that it could not be because of the shot. I have been using the calendar to track my ovulation and I think I have finally got it right. I have been having this terrible cramping pain on my right side for the past 2 days. My eyes are watery all the time. I sleep all day and my back has been sore off and on. I am expected to get me cycle on 11/18. I am not having breast soreness or swelling but maybe it is to soon. I can't say that I have been eating a lot because I eat a lot anyway. I tried to take a test but was told it may be to soon for results.

I am becoming very discouraged and I don't want to stress. Any suggestions?


Thanks

Hi,

I hope you did finally get it! The cramping

is a good sign. I have the exact same symptoms as you.

I should get my period today. . .well my cycle is so irregular

that it's frustrating (it goes from 40 - 60 days) Any way,

I'm trying to wait as long as I can to test since a negative

would upset me and it could just be because it's too early.

I hope your symptoms continue and you have an easy "waiting time."

Patience is definately wearing thin with me:)

Thanks for the encouragement. I just want to make sure that I am not causing my self to feel thing. I do want to have a baby. I just can't understand why I am having such a hard time. I have been to several doctors. I have not once been told that I have any thing wrong. My husband has even been and everything checked out for him as well. It's hard waiting for something you want so bad.

I hope that you get some answers soon. It for sure is to early for you to get a positive HPT. Im due for AF on 11/14 and since I have a normal cycle around 28-30 days that would mean I barely ovulated on friday-sunday and Its too early for symptoms yet. since your due for your AF about 4 days after me this might be ovulation time for you. I would continue to try for at least another week just to be safe. Good luck!

Thanks a lot. How long should I continue to try? Could the pain mean that I am in O?

Here is an update on the situation. I have been having this same pain for about 4 days now. In my lower stomach. Yesterday I went to the store but before I got out of the car I had a terrible heat flash. I had to sit there for about 20 minutes just to let it pass. Also I haven't felt like eating at all. (Is that good?) I have been really lazy lately also. I am still not expected to start my cycle until 11/18. I know it is to early to test. Any suggestions? I hope I not getting my hopes up again.

sudden sharp pains may mean an ovarian cyst. after getting off depo it shouldn't take more than 1 1/2 to 2 years to get pregnant. i would start looking into fertility treatments before you reach 30. after 30 it is more difficult to get pregnant.

good luck!

I have been off for 2 years. What types of treatment should I look for?
