Re: TTC, was Re: pregnancy vs periods - forgot to say

[Guest guest]

This is where we're at, too. All my pregnancies have been come by very

easily: we've only ever had to think about trying, before! And despite the

disappointment of the miscarriages, we've always known that a good outcome

will come along eventually.

This time, however.....

Though it has to be said I've been on depo provera injections since DD2 was

born, and had my last injection on 8th March. There should have been an

injection on 1 June, but we'd decided it was time to go for it. Now, the

research evidence apparently shows that 97% of previously fertile women

conceived between 4 and 31 months after their *missed* injection, with the

mean at 10 months. So, it's early days yet. Try telling this to DH,

though!! I told him about 's efforts when she was TTC Carys and he's

decided this is the best approach - just coming up to the 4 month mark and

I'm flipping exhausted already I've had vague signs of ovulation -

cramps - but no period yet. But am doing a test at the beginning of every

month anyway, just in case I fall pregnant before I bleed. Otherwise my LMP

would be Feb. 2000 - how on earth would they estimate an EDD out of that?!!

But then there's the side of me that's saying " A watched pot never boils,

Vicki " ...and the side of me that's saying " We could be about to be at war -

are you *sure* this is a good idea " (that side's losing, but it's still

there...)
