This is the beginning of my journey, so I felt like sharing...
I'm 30 and was on Depo Provera Birth Control Shots for over 7 years!!!
DH and I decided that we wanted to have kids so I made an appointment, talked to my docs, and then stopped my shots...
I went through a rough time coming off of it. It was almost like my body was in withdrawl!
I'm also battling some Thyroid/Pituitary issues and PCOS so I'm taking meds and trying VERY hard to lose weight!
(I've been told this will help with fertility)
It has taken almost a year, and a course of Provera to get my cycle back, but my docs think I'm finally starting to ovulate!
Fingers Crossed!
Thanks to everyone for posting their stories!
You're all such strong and inspirational women!
