Hi Lisa,

Are you asking how to resume periods after Depo? Unfortunately, its a waiting game and you just have to wait it out. Sometimes depending on how long you were on the shot, can take 3-12 months or worst case 18 months to get ur period and resume fertility after the last shot.

After 6 months if you still havent resumed, you can go to a Reproductive Endocrinologist and see what he has to say about putting you on injectibles to start ovulation.

Reg Discharge, You just have to see how the vaginal discharge looks like. 3-4 days before ovulation, it would be clear and stretchy like egg whites and would stretch atleast 8 cm.

Dr Q says cervical position can be determined only by professional people and its very tricky and not a great way of fertility tracking.

Thanks hope, does it cost money to see a Reproductive Endocrinologist? and what are the injections?

Depends on ur insurance Lisa if it covers infertility. You can always check your benefits for that information. Also, if it costs to see the RE, then u can least see an Ob Gyn but Im not sure how much she can do as I have read here in these message boards Clomid may not be of much help while trying to resume periods after Depo.

Injectibles are gonadotropins which are stronger than clomid or other pills
