thought we were one and done...

We have a beautiful 6 1/2 mo old boy. I wanted to go on BC right after our baby was born and chose Depo-Provera shot because it was compatible with breastfeeding and we were planning to be one and done. Well, DH and I had the talk last night and decided that we would like to try for one more. Problem is I'm on my 2nd shot (got it Nov 1, it will be out of my system Feb 1), and unfortunately I am reading that it may take 1-2 years to conceive again. Bummer!!! Anyone have any luck or know anyone who got PG within a shorter amount of time after going off depo? stories please....TIA

Just from personal experience, google on this topic is almost all "doom and gloom" lol.

I had a Depo shot back in June because DH and I weren't quite ready for #2.  It was my one-and-only shot. After I googled I freaked out, so I didn't get another one. I will tell you that I"m pretty sure I ovulated last cycle (5 months after the shot), but it was not confirmed with temping (I had an u/s and it showed a 23mm follicle on my right ovary, and then 16 days later my period came on).  This is my first "normal" period since the shot.

So, to summarize (lol), I had one shot, and I'm pretty sure my cycles are back to normal (6 months after the shot).  I know that some people normalize a lot quicker, and some take longer. This was just my personal experience! Good luck!

I was on Depo for around 7 years (my thinking at the time, no period! heck ya sign me up).  Well, hindsight and all - yeah it took at least 6 months for my cycle to even come back.  We technically started trying March 2011, we finally got our BFP Nov 2012.  I was also having some health issues, so I am sure that didn't help out any either, but that was my experience with it.
