Question

Answer

Well, I'm not sure if that is contributing but we have been TTC for the second month now (currently in my fertile window). A short backstory - I started getting the Depo shot in 2010 (first BC ever), had no periods, stopped in 2011, got my first period back April 1st, 2012 then got pregnant. I had the Mirena for about 6 months after my son but I started feeling really down and tired. I also felt the string getting shorter and shorter and had really erratic periods. I got mine removed sometime in late 2013 or early 2014. My periods continued to be erratic (one cycle was 80 days - not pregnant), however over the next week after removal my mood was tons better. My periods, as of the end of 2015 became more regular (30 - 38 day cycles), but they are still not what they were before BC (28-32 day cyles).

I refuse to use hormonal BC now. I hated that IUD, but depo treated me so well. I'm afraid now that I am unable to concieve because of the IUD or the combination of both BCs as well as giving birth.
