I only got 2 shots of depo. My last one was Dec 31 2016. Period didn’t return until Jan 2018, so about a year after the shot. Met my husband in January 2018 and started trying whenever we could in May 2018 until he left to get his CDL from Nov-Dec 2018 with no positives. Got married at the courthouse December 21, 2018. ❤️ Started back trying in February 2019 until this April. After not getting pregnant in May we said fuck it because we were tired of being disappointed and I start nursing school in August. So I got my period May 12th on Mother’s Day of all days 😭 Anyways, once it went off I just stopped caring about trying to get pregnant. I started back not <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android">tracking ovulation</a>, not trying to have sex on certain days, I even had drinks with my husband and family throughout June. We started back having sex whenever and wherever and having fun with it. Fast forward to June 14th, I’ve been cramping on and off with sore boobs for over a week with no period. Hadn’t paid attention that I was 2 days late because I threw caution to the wind and all. But I’ve been late 4 days before so no worries. I was so over cramping and ready for my period to come on that me and my husband bought a pregnancy test. Why? Because every other time I took a pregnancy it turned out negative and my period would come on literally a few hours later. So I’m thinking it would work this time and come on. Only bought one cheap test because I was 100% sure it was coming. So me and my husband are in the bathroom and I drop the two drops of urine. It passes the test line blank and the control line is dark pink. As soon as we saw that we looked at each other and I say looks negative to me. I kid you not but somehow in between us looking at each other and looking back at the test, the test line was PINK. Not faint but dark. No doubts right? WRONG! We had to go dig the box out of the trash because we just knew we were seeing things or something. But NOPE it was a BFP. We sat there in shock for about 2 minutes before we got really happy. Then it dawned on me that I had been drinking the whole time, I had even taken ibuprofen the night before for the cramps, and I oh yes I had been cramping. So we rush to the ER and IM PREGNANT. Too early for them to see anything on US other than my endometrium being thick but since I had been cramping they referred me to my doctor to have an early US to rule out an ectopic. Go to my OBGYN they confirm I’m pregnant, it’s not ectopic, gestational sac & yolk sac, no fetal pole yet which put me around 5 weeks so I was on track. I was allowed to see it yet though so I was still nervous. Fast forward to week 8, I have my first prenatal appointment. According to LMP I was supposed to be 8w2d. I got to the see baby!! Gestational sac ✅ yolk sac✅ Baby ✅ Saw the Heartbeat 151 bpm💓 Measuring 8 weeks exactly but doctor said that’s right on time still so healthy baby so far ❤️ I’m currently 10w4d now I had to go in for BV at 10 weeks exactly so they went ahead and did my MaterniT21 test so I’ll find out what we’re having soon. We also got to HEAR our baby’s heartbeat. It took doc a while to get it because baby kept moving. Her words were “you guys have an active one” Strong 163 bpm ‼️ We are on cloud 9. ❤️

I want you guys to know that there is hope after depo. I know it sounds so cliche but throw caution to the wind and just enjoy. Try not to stress over it as much and it will happen when you least expect it. I too was one of those women who thought yea sure that’ll work but here I am today 10 weeks pregnant the same month I stopped trying and threw caution to the wind. Just continue to pray and enjoy life with your significant other and family. And right when you least expect it and possibly the worst timing ever lol BOOM 💥 BFP ➕

Fun fact: I’m pretty sure I got pregnant when we were both sloppy drunk having sex on the bathroom floor of his parents house 😉😅
