Brief Answer:
It takes time to regularize cycle after coming off depot

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for your query.

I have read you query and I understand your concerns about delayed periods.

Following is my reply:

1) It takes about 2 to 3 months for the for the flow to become normal after coming off depot.

2) Therefore I suggest you wait for 3 months before expecting cycles to get regularized.

3) Spotting you experienced the other day was your first period off depot and is low in quantity.

I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.

Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.

Regards,
Dr. Soumya

OK, when will or should I start thinking stuff because my doctor told me when I get off of depo I should start right away and my friend started immediately after she got off of it. I am just wondering I was thinking by August sometime I should see and if you are trying to have a kid when is the best time to try?

Answered by Dr. Soumya (5 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
You can try this cycle

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You can start off right now considering the spotting as your periods. Have sexual intercourse between 12th to 18th day of cycle considering spotting as day 1 of cycle.

You can get pregnant this cycle if you keep trying.

on that it is saying I need to pay $35 I already paid $15 so I have to write on this. because I am off of depo now when will I know about the 12th to 18th day of cycle considering I am not spotting anymore though? There is completely nothing now. I am just wondering exactly when we should try? I mean I don't know about being fertile.

Brief Answer:
Consider spotting as day 1

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You can consider the spotting you had as day one of your cycle. Calculate day 12 to 18th depending upon this spotting date.

You are likely to be fertile between day 12 and day 18
