hi,
i came off the depo injection in september 2002 and didnt fall pregnant until december 2003,my periods didnt return until august 2003 so it took 15 months in total to finally fall pregnant again.i didnt think it would happen and it was only when i had finally decided to leave it,i was going back to work and had my pill prescription as we had agreed to leave it for a year that i conceived.i forgot about falling pregnant and preoccupied myself with other things and only had sex a couple times a fortnight if that!! it will happen,i know it seems disheartening every month but the more you focus on it the longer it will take.
you just have to be patient,i promise it will happen in the end you just have to try not to get too caught up in it as the more stressed you get the more unlikely you are to ovulate or conceive.
i also have three other friends who were also on the depo and it took at least a year with them aswell to fall pregnant again.
i do sympathise with you,but stay positive and try not to focus everything on getting pregnant again.im now 4 months ito my 3rd pregnancy and still cant believe it even though i have had my scan and seen the baby.
it will be you soon.
keep me posted and chat if you need to as i do understand.
