Sorry it's been so long. I've been meaning to write this for awhile, but then I had an appointment scheduled for Tuesday and decided I would wait until after that. Well then I got sick and didn't have the energy to even sit here and type this.
This is your warning. The next paragraph will probably be TMI. Sorry. You may skip it and not miss anything. It's technical stuff for me to remember.
I've been on Depo Provera for 2.5 years. During the first 3 months I had 1 period and then the rest of the time I had slight spotting here and there. I had my last shot at the end of February so it was in effect until the end of May. I have not had my period since going off of it. I went to the doctor for my well woman check, but also to discuss this. She immediately tried to leave, and when I stopped her to talk to her, she had one foot out the door the entire time. Pissed me off. But she won't even do anything until it's been 6 months without a period (it's been 4 currently). At 6 months, she will put me on a birth control pill for 3-6 months and that is supposed to get things started again. And that is what I don't get. Why can't she put me on it now? I could wait another 3 months. I don't think I'll be able to get pregnant anytime soon because I'm not ovulating... but
We are going to stop trying to prevent a pregnancy next month. The methotrexate for my psoriasis will be out of my system for the full 3 months as of November 1st. So it would be safe for me to get pregnant.
And speaking of my psoriasis, my skin is doing pretty good without the medication, but my scalp has just exploded with it! It's driving me crazy! So I need to make an appointment with a dermatologist and maybe get another $400 bottle of shampoo. Yay for tricare! :)
