Personally, I don't think you should have been on Depo-Provera that long. I'm on it now but I don't plan on it being long term and am only on it now bc I don't have many choices but hopefully changing to something else soon. I've been told by many doctors that its not good as a long term birth control method because studies have shown that use of two yrs or more may cause irreversible bone loss and/or early osteoporosis in women (besides its other serious side effects). I'm not trying to scare you but instead, make you fully aware. If I were you, I'd go get a test to check bone density and make sure thats okay before considering bearing a child.

Now on to getting pregnant, after you've checked all that and made sure everythings okay...Depo-Provera varies in how long it takes to get out of your system in women. There's really nothing you can do about that. Some may get pregnant right away but it can take even up to 18 months before you can get pregnant. I'm surprised none of this was discussed with you by your doctor.

Now, just be patient. Stressing or getting desperate won't help matters at all. If after a year, you are still having problems with getting pregnant...I'd suggest you and your husband get checked for any fertility issues from both ends. If both of you are fine, then time is the only factor...just be patient, wait until the depo is completely out of your system and continue to have sex but actually enjoy it. Don't find it exhausting and stressful. Things will happen when the time is actually right, not when you think it is.

I forgot to answer one of your questions...What days should you be trying?

Well, the obvious answer is days that you're ovulating and also, a couple of days before/after ovulation. Soundss funny but sperm can take a while to get to the egg so having sex ON THE ACTUAL DAY of ovulation isn't too practical. Having sex a couple of days before hand, preferably more than once and then on the actual day of ovulation and a couple of days after. You stated you're getting your periods, if they're regular that should make it easier. There are many free online ovulation calculators (just do a search for it, there are many on dif websites. Choose whichever you find best or several but make sure they seem legit and are a good website that seems like they know what they're doing so that its more accurate.) The American Pregnany Association website offers one. Just type in the appropriate information and it'll let you know when you're ovulating. The reason I also suggested trying a couple of days before and after ovulation is not only for what I stated above but also because you never know when it might be a day off or so. So pretty much the week you're ovulating seems like a good time to have sex that entire time and not just randomly here and there and at times you will not possibly get pregnant. Again, this is just my personal opinion based on information I've been told by doctors and from personal research. If you have any doubts or are unsure of anything, don't hesistate to visit your doctor. I hope all turns out well and I apologize for the lengths of the messages. I just wanted to offer what I know.

Thx! and Since I last wrote this I actually was 3weeks pregnant and didnt know! My child will be born late January! Our Prayers were answered!
