i think it may take about a year for your periods to become regular after depo so it may take several more months. as for the BBT chart, you start charting on the first day of your cycle (when af comes). if you're not having regular periods you're probably not ovulating, so i don't see the point of charting. but then again i'm not a fan of charting because it never worked for me. if af does not come in a couple of weeks, i would call the gyne and see if they can start you on provera to induce af,good luck.

I have been charting since october and i, as you know still havent had af, its better to start on the first day of bleeding - so ive heard but for us girls it may take a long time for af to start again, i suggest you start now anyway (the only reason i got my appt with the specialist is because i was charting and the doctor could not see a thermal shift)

I recommend it, even if depo hasnt come right out of our systems it good practice.

Have you got TCOYF, that will really help also i got the temp chart in a walet with a basal body thermometer from Boots, it was £14 but well woth the money, it sits by my bedside untill 6am when on goes the thermometer, it really was worth the £'s

Good luck
