In May I had a miscarriage. I was 8 weeks along and everything passed well.
My doctor gave me a shot of depo at the beginning of June and I won't need another for 6 months, well 5 months now. I don't want to get another shot though because I want a baby really bad. How long do I have to wait until I can try to get pregnant again? Can it cause infertility? I wasn't really thinking about all of this when I got the shot.

I have convinced myself that I'm having infertility problems due to having the depo shot after having my second daughter in 2004. My first daughter was born in 2000...no problem getting prego with her. I got prego in 2003 with twins but lost them. Two months later I was prego again. May 2004 had my second daughter and started the depo shot. 2006 stop the shot and started trying for my third. 2008 still trying and found out I have PCOS. I'm now on Clomid for the third month and still no luck. I didn't have any problems before the depo shot and I certainly didn't have PCOS. I'm really frustrated and mad at myself for taking the depo shot.

any off u have any luck catching yet. I had my first daughter in 2005, and went on the depo in 2007. Last September me and my husband decided we would like another child, my period returned withen 3 months but my periods are always irregular! My doctors answer is im young and it will happen when it happens. Its just so frustrating, i feel so broody and cant stop thinking about it!
