Am I ovulating? Is the depo out of my system?

Hi ,

Me and my husband have been trying to have a baby since last October and wondered if you could help. I took the depo shot last April-July and July -October. I started spotting in February then March nothing then I started April 7th and it lasted 2weeks then I started again May 28th and was a normal 7days. I noticed while ovulating that I was spotting a orangish color. Does that mean I'm ovulating? Is the depo out of my system? What can I do to get pregnant? Any advice will help thank you

Find low drug prices at local & online pharmacies

The hormones in Depo are processed by the liver. So, even though in many people it may be out of your system in 3 months, for you it may be longer. So I use liver support to help women recover from these types of drugs, or even the toxic drugs used in so-called fertility treatments. Be sure to cut out sugar from your diet because sugar makes it harder for your liver to get rid of hormones, which is why it makes PMS worse. I would also make sure not to drink milk (though small amounts of dairy in food should not be a problem) because milk increases testosterone and testosterone makes it harder to get pregnant. I also recommend women take 2 TBSP of GROUND flax seeds from the new moon to the full moon daily to support estrogen, and then 2 TBSP of ground chia seeds from the full moon to the new moon to support progesterone. There is SO much you can do to support fertility and there is more on my website.

The deep is still in your system and interfering with ovulation, with time you will start to ovulate again. Your physician can do some testing to find out if you are ovulating.
