PLEASE HELP

Hey ladies! I came across this site when i found it on google lol!! But i just got the Depo shot last month! The doctor put me on it because i have terrible cramps! Im still waiting to see if i will be one of the ones that doesnt have a period or not! But now that i have it me and my dear other are talking about trying to have another child after our last miscarriage, i was wondering if it was sometimes harder to get pregnant after the Depo or if it was easier! Please email me at amberalisha42@hotmail.com! Thanks girls! Good luck and god bless all of you!!!

I was TOLD that some women get pregnant faster after getting off of Depo, that was the case for my cousin! But i do know that all of us are different! I was on Birth Control Pills for 3 years and quit in August of last year and got pregnant right after but unfortunatley i miscarried in December, so we decided to wait for a little while before TTC again!! So i decided on the shot, and now im afraid that this could be the worst mistake that i have ever made because now we are talking about trying again, but i have read some HORRIBLE things about this shot!! Thanks for your input Sabrina i REALLY appreciate it and need all the help and advice i can get lol!! Thanks and god bless!!!

I was on depo, and forgot to get it again and got pregnant 2 months after the missed shot. I unfortunatley had a miscarage, and went back on the shot. I wass on it for about 9 months, until after my wedding, and now have been trying without sucess since May. I know I can carry to term concidering i have a 3 and a half year old. A friend also told me that there is a hormone in depo that the give to sex offenders to keep their hormones in check. I don`t know if there is any truth to that but my life has change conciderably after having been on it- I would not personaly recomend it.
