Getting pregnant after the contraceptive injection

6 replies

Hi everyone!
I'm new here and already have a question!

I had the first dose of the contraceptive pill on November 9th, so it should start working from tomorrow. Last week, I had dark red/brown discharge even though I haven't had my period since starting the pill. Could it be that it's already working earlier than expected?

We really want to try to get pregnant, so after I got the contraceptive pill, we decided to wait 3 months.

I hope someone here can respond.

    Unfortunately, it's not possible to have it sooner. Even after a Depo-Provera shot, it can take a while to get your own cycle back.
    Unfortunately, don't count on ovulation in the next cycle. The contraceptive pill is usually given to women who don't want kids (soon).
    Good luck!

    Oh my, what a shame that I ever had it installed. HA told me it's really fantastic to use...

    Patience is a virtue...

    It can take a long time before you can get pregnant after the contraceptive injection.
    You'll still get your period normally though.
    I've been through this too.
    Not pregnant for 2 years. And then suddenly twice in less than 3 months. One miscarriage. I think the contraceptive injection has finally worn off.
    Not to scare you because some get pregnant right away.
    But it can indeed take a while.

    I've heard that more often too, maybe the difference is that I only took the birth control pill once?!
    I hope so.
    By the way, my ovulation test came back positive.

    My ovulation test also showed positive back then. I only took the contraceptive pill once.

    But if it shows positive, you're fertile anyway, so is it possible?
