When I came off the depo (after being on it for 2 years) I got my period excatly 1 month after!But in saying that every one is different! I have just read that even if you only have 1 injection it can take up to 1 year for your period to return.
Good Luck

I've seen those reusable tests on trademe. They look quite cute actually. Miniture microscopes that look like a lipstick.
I'm half tempted to get one for the novelty value.]]> Fri, 17 Feb 2006 11:31:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1536&PID=28519&title=depo-injection-and-period-cycle#28519 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1536&PID=28479&title=depo-injection-and-period-cycle#28479 Author: Xander&Harmony

Hey Lena, www.fertilityfriend.com has all the info you need to chart. It tells you what to look for as signs you might be ovulating, and all about BBT (taking your temp) to confirm ovulation. Once you have ovulated you can expect your period about 2 weeks later.
Otherwise I can explain it all, but fertility friend does it better!]]> Thu, 16 Feb 2006 15:17:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1536&PID=28407&title=depo-injection-and-period-cycle#28407 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1536&PID=28384&title=depo-injection-and-period-cycle#28384 Author: lenabeanz

Haha just the news I wanted to hear!! (not)! I am expection 9 months at the earliest before I get my period or be like Liz and just get pregnant before that happens!!

Jess - this is probably a STUPID question but how can I do a chart if I haven't had my period? I haven't even researched what kind of lifestyle to live if I want to get pregnant... or how to chart or anything.... Im useless!! ]]> Thu, 16 Feb 2006 14:04:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1536&PID=28384&title=depo-injection-and-period-cycle#28384 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1536&PID=28348&title=depo-injection-and-period-cycle#28348 Author: here we go...

Hello,

I was on the injection for just over a year, and when I stopped, it took over a year for my periods to return. (probably not the sort of news you wnated to hear - sorry!)

I was travelling in Africa, and didnt want to go to the docs there to get my injection, so I just let it go and waited to see what happened. I wasnt ttc at the time, and really didnt mind not having AF while I was travelling - actually quite convenient for me then. But would have been annoying if I wanted to ttc.]]> Thu, 16 Feb 2006 12:18:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1536&PID=28348&title=depo-injection-and-period-cycle#28348 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1536&PID=28333&title=depo-injection-and-period-cycle#28333 Author: Guests

And if you are going to purchase there are a couple of people on Trade Me who can sell them a lot cheaper than the pharmacy can.

Normally it would be around $20.00 for 2 months supply...around 12 tests I think it is.

However as SB said...given your position at the moment it would more than likely to be cheaper to wait for your period and go from there.]]> Wed, 15 Feb 2006 11:43:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1536&PID=28204&title=depo-injection-and-period-cycle#28204 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1536&PID=28203&title=depo-injection-and-period-cycle#28203 Author: Sarah Beth

you could try and purchase some ovulation kits, but that could get expensive waiting to see if you do ovulate.

I think I have to just sit and wait!!

Does anyone know of any tests I can get done to see if I am ovulating or if anything is happening?

I'm not good for advice either - I didn't have a period for 18 mths then I had bleeding on and off for ages. But I was on the injection for over 4 years so much longer than you. I'm sure your cycles will be back to normal ASAP. And don't forget that you can ovulate before you actually have a period, so you may even get pg before you get a period (just ask Liz )

I'm totally with you on th Depo side effects tho - would never go on it again myself.

Mind you, got preg first time I had sex, then with Maya while I was on the Pill, and yet now that I actually WANT to get pg it's not happening!!]]> Tue, 14 Feb 2006 15:14:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1536&PID=28106&title=depo-injection-and-period-cycle#28106 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1536&PID=28083&title=depo-injection-and-period-cycle#28083 Author: lenabeanz

I am hoping after being on it for a year (short time according to my Dr - that is usless!) that it wont take TOO long to get things going again...

Lol Liz - Arna was a pill baby too!! More my forgetfulness then anything!! - Just a word of warning - research the Depo fully and throughly as I have experianced mood swings, low (to NO) sex drive etc... Just advice - Everyone is different!

Thanks Jax - I know everyone is different - I just want to be a lucky one that gets it back real quick!!

Ok, first of all I don't want to scare you or worry you or anything, as I am by no means 'average' biologically speaking. I was on Depo injections for almost two years, and it took 14 months for my period to come back.

I am hoping you guys can help me with this as the Dr. was no help at all!!

I was on the depo for about a year and had my last injection 5th October 05 - next one was due 4th January o6.

We are TTC but I am waiting to get my period before I do all the cycle stuff.. What I wanted to know is if anyone has had the Depo and how long until you got your period? I have been having really bad stomach pains for about 5 days and have gone from thinking stomach bug to phantom period and back again!!
