Unclear

Hi everyone,

I hope someone can relate to my problem and maybe tell me more about it.

After using the contraceptive injection for 2 years, I had my last shot in January 2015. It wore off on March 8th, and after that, I didn't get another shot. From then on, I started taking the combined pill on my doctor's advice just to get my period going. In June 2015, I stopped the pill, and since then, I've been having periods. At least, I've had bleeding that lasted for several days.

27-07-15 - 30-07-15
23-08-15 - 28-08-15
06-09-15 - 10-09-15
20-09-15 - 24-09-15
01-10-15 - 05-10-15
15-10-15 - 20-10-15
15-11-15 - 18-11-15

It's still quite irregular, but it's slowly becoming more regular.

I'm wondering if anyone knows if these bleedings indicate that the contraceptive injection has completely worn off for me.

My boyfriend and I really want a baby, but because my period is so irregular right now, we don't know where we stand.

At first, the bleedings were dark brown, almost black. It was very dark blood, and I had no period symptoms at all. Now that I've been off contraception for a bit longer, I do get symptoms (thankfully), like back pain, bloating, stomach pain, and my period blood is much heavier and actually red! Instead of dark brown.

Who else has experience with this? I'd love to hear others' experiences.

Love!
