Thank you, CM. I will check out your thread for sure and *I* really like everyone here too!
I really liked Depo when I was in college. It was reliable and I lost my periods alltogether. I was on it for years.
Well, I think it caused my ovulation to totally mess up. We actually lost our first pregnancy and it was a horrible time for us. I conceived him on cycle day 45, or something, instead of the typical day 14. I believe the hormone levels were not what they should have been to support the pregnancy and there may have been a problem at implantation. We made it to 20 weeks, so technically he was a stillborn. That is how it felt to us too. I had a blood clot in between the placental wall and the uterus. I bled heavily the whole pregnancy. It was very traumatic for both of us. We named him Nathaniel. Anyhow, in trying to conceive our next baby, I realized that I was ovulating very irregularly and very late. So, in a roundabout way I wonder if Depo contributed to the unhealthy environment which led to our first baby's death. I did end up going on Clomid (regulates your ovulation) when trying to conceive Mari. I ovulated on day 14 and had a perfect pregnancy.
Remember when I had said that Joey was looking into a vasectomy? That is the option we are both leaning towards. Now it's just a matter of scheduling and finances. I look forward to being off of any hormones.
I am feeling a bit better today and I'm gonna try to have a PMA and not get my panties in a wad over things if they're "not perfect." I recognize that as an issue of mine.
Mari (the Daddy's girl) told me earlier that she and Daddy were going to the park later and I said, "That was Mommy's idea. We thought it would be fun for all of us to go to the park together as a family." These little things happen all the time and I know I should let it roll off my back, but sometimes they start to get to me when it happens all the time.
