I got off the depo shot.
I just got married in June. We've been together for a most eight years. High school sweethearts, so when we first got together the goal was to NOT get pregnant. He was always really careful. Almost to the point where it hurt our sex life. I can't use condoms. I get uti's from the silliest things. And birth control would cause bleeding for months. Finally found depo. I could take it without any side effects and we got really used to having a normal sex life! Well, my doctor took me off of it shortly before we got married because of the bone density issues and because it can take so long to get pregnant after coming off of it that we figured it could take a year or longer to get pregnant. Husband knew I was coming off the shot and acted fine with it until about a week after I should have gotten it. That's when he stopped having any sort of sex with me. He says he wants kids but right now. I get that. But he can't give me reasons or a time line. I've been clear about my time line for kids as long as we have been together. So he's controlling sex. We are married, we've been together for the long run, we are home owners, and both have good jobs. Coming off depo was probably one of the hardest things for me to physically go through that I can remember. I can't go back on it. I can't have sex with my husband. I feel so helpless. He's fantastic and treats me so well, this is so weird for him. How do I make sense of this?
