19 and trying
Well my name is Mandee, I'm new here. I'm 19 and my fiance is 23. We are TTCing. I was on the depo shot from November 2006-March 2007. March was my last shot. We havnt been using protection since, because we were just saying if I get pregnant cool if not thats fine too....But we've really wanted to get pregnant since last year. Well it's been 2yrs since my last shot as of March 16th. Why does it seem like it's not going to happen. Any one else experience this from the depo shot? Does anyone have any advice on trying?! I would appreciate all the help!

Maybe I'm moving into fogeydom...but don't know what TTC stands for.
You are awfully young. Having a baby is huge responsibilty and changes your life and relationship forever. I really encourage you to wait a couple years, give yourselves more time to enjoy each other as a couple, gain more financial stability and then see how you feel about it. You are at the age where there will be a lot of changes, between 20 and 30 is a real growth time and you may be surprised in the next couple years!
(trying to conceive I think)
I have to agree with WC. I know you didn't come here asking advice on whether or not you should get pregnant but she's right. You are so young and have so much time ahead of you. Your 20s are huge in terms of life experience, maturity and personal growth. ...once it's over, it's gone forever. You never get that time back (kid, or no kid) Enjoy yourself, enjoy your relationship and think about kids in another few years. Seriously, I hope you reconsider this decision.
Anyway, yes, that is normal on the depo shot as far as I know. It took a friend of mine almost a year after her last shot to even have her period.
Ah I'm not going for the age thing, you two have been together since what 15, 16 years of age? You look very happy together.
I am sure you know the struggle of one wage, and the costs of baby formula etc and support you will need.
Eat healthily, start walking, it's a fair wack of weight to carry when pregnant, you need to be strong as well...
And, in all that just love each other as you do obviously, when Mother Nature decides your ready she will come.

Do we not realise that in order to find a soul
It doesn't happen over night
if truth were to be told.
Like everything in life that's hard to achieve
you must believe!
I understand that we're both still young but I dont belive age determines how good a set of parents are?! Neither one of us party or go out, Just dinner with friends and I usually always have a kid with with. I dont see a difference in us getting pregnant now or in 2 or 3 years, maybe we'll be moved, But my figure is, if its time for me to get pregnant it'll happen, right? We've been together since a little before my 17th b-day. We have the most amazing love in the world and we've been through thick and thin (both of our mothers dying 4 months apart). I dont mind if a baby comes in 2-3 years but why is it that so many people are just popping out babies and I have the rough time getting pregnant when im the one who wants one not them?!
Truthfully I would like to lose a few pounds before I get pregnant, I just need a boost, dont know how to start. I gained 55lbs on the depo shot, I went from 125-170lbs in 6 months. Any one have any ideas?
No sleep isnt a worry for me either, I take care of my friends 3 month old baby over night sometimes and waking up with her doesnt bother me.
Would taking a BC pill regulate my period and then getting off the pill help me with the getting pregnant part?

wow. seems like you have your mind made up. When it's supposed to happen it will. If you keep stressing about it, that might be actually hurting the chances of getting pregnant.
I do agree with the other ladies though. You are way young, and you babysitting is far different from having your own. Live life and enjoy it before you take on such a HUGE responsiblity. Good luck.
LUV KNCKS U DWN!
Age is but a number... If you know you know, that being happiness with a partner that you can see nothing but a future with....
19 going on 20, they had them at 14 in the olden days haha.
So sticking to the Threaders question....
Mandy, concentrate on getting healthy, eating healthy, losing weight...and being always happy.
Sometimes Mother Nature aint going to step in if your body isn't ready for it, does that make sense?

yes it makes sense. David and I talked last night about me possibly going on the pill to get my body back on track and til we move again. I'm hoping to lose weight. Does anyone have any good ideas?
I like the way you see things CW. I'm just going to step back and let things go. But most likely will go on the pill, if not, then nature can take its course. I read somewhere that it may be harder to get pregnant if your "heavier" so to speak!
Thanks and anyone else with any info for me would be greatful....
