Dep-Provera
In June 2010, we were surprised to find out that I was pregnant and in July 2010, I miscarried at 9 weeks and had a D & C to follow that.
I decided to start birth control again because of the saddness that I still felt and nervousness ( about it possibly happening again). Then, in January 2011, I decided to start Depo-Provera (thinking it was an easy alternative) and had my last shot in May 2011.
Little did I know, the complications and issues that we could possibly face because of the Depo decision. It wasn't until coming off Depo that I read about and realized some women really have problems with conception after that.
My OB/GYN ordered Ortho-TriCyclen Lo to regulate my cycles and it worked. I had normal periods for 2 cycles with the pill. I stopped the pill then and decided we would now try to conceive our first baby. I had a normal period (ON MY OWN), which gave me a 28 day cycle. The next month, I had another normal period and that was a 27 day cycle.
Now, I've began BBT charting to see if I am, in fact, ovulating. My OB/GYN seems to think so because my periods are regular but said they still could be anovulatory cycles. We are moving into 8 months since my last Depo- Provera injection and the estimated time to get pregnant is 6- 10 months... so FINGERS CROSSED!
My BBT has been around 97.3-97.5 and the last 4 days were at 97.2 and this morning at CD 12 temp charted at 96.8.... So, I HOPE that I am really ovulating!! :)
Anyone else have a similar experience?

Follow my journey in life: 
I was on the depo shot for 4 years. I recently got my period back in August and it is not normal at all. I really wish I didn't go on the shot. We are trying for our first and it's taking awhile and every time I get excited about possibly being pregnant I just find out it's my cycle being messed up because of the depo shot.

Smmerz: Did you try the pill to see if it would regulate it quickly? I didn't want to do that, I just wanted to try for a baby immediately but my doctor said i'd just be let down :( Well... here I am.. still being let down, just two months later! But, I'm hoping that with my cycles being normal, maybe it's not so bad. Good luck!!

Lottie, did you have regular periods after stopping it? Or, did it take 12 months for your periods to become regular again?
I'm just at a loss. I've been having regular periods 27/28 days apart but I don't know if I'm ovulating. I started charting BBT and decided to also use OPK, had a very shadowy line today and temps again at 96.8 for two days in a row. Prior to that, my temps were 97.2 for four days in a row.
I'm glad I found this site though... TTC is a tough road.
