Hi. I'm new to this. I've been on & off depo since i was 16 & I'm now 27, I've been off it now since Feb 2003 I've had a few periods now ( between 3 & 6 months apart) not regular yet (2 1/2yrs that's how long I've been trying). I've had all the blood tests possible & all came back fine and know my DH has to have a sperm count done again (he had one done in 1995) and he was fine, just waiting for results now (due back next Friday 8th June). My last period was Wed 4th May & i O between 16-23 May and had a small bleed on 27-28 May (very light & with mild cramps) nothing since. I've got lots of blue veins over my chest and a very faint line over my navel which seems odd. I've done 4 HPT and 2 from GP they wont refer me to ultrasound till i get a + pregnancy test and they wont do blood test unless you done want to keep the baby. I'm having lots of discharge (creamy/white and stretchy) i know when it's EWCM it means I'm O but I'm not as this has been going on now for 4wks. Please help very confused.

That does sound like a frustrating postition to be in.....Question for you: Did your GP do a blood test or a urine test or both and at what stage of the "game" were they done?
I don't know about the veins in your chest but a few ladies have mentioned on earlier posts that you will have EWCM during pregnancy and I have heard of the "pregnancy line" by your belly button. Have you had any other symptions? Cramping, weight gain, tender breasts, nausea, etc?
I do know of at least 3 people who got pregnant just off of Depo, even a few while still on Depo, so chances are good.
Hope you get this figured out soon...baby dust your way!!! Let us know.

I did pregnancy tests at 4 day before my AF was due with first response the i did another one a week later by the GP then another one a wk later, then another one by the GP then i did one more at home all say neg to which i have given up as she told me it should have show up now (which is 8wks now if i was it will be 9wks Wed next wk). I've had mild cramping on & off for the past 4wks, no breast tenderness or nausea & weight gain. My GP said they don't do blood tests, only if i don't want to keep the baby and the wont do a ultrasound til i get a +pregnancy test. I'm so frustrated as to what to do next. I'm wait for a fertility appointment to come through to see what they can do for me. Can the discharge have white in it as mine does and it's stretchy to which I've been told is a sign I'm O, but it's been like this now for 4 weeks now.

Is there any way you can see the doctor instead of the GP, it doesn't make sense that they wouldn't do a blood test...what does that have to do with whether or not you want to keep the baby...a blood may give you other leads, if it shows that you are not pregnant...a blood is one of the first things my doctors does, instead of a urine test b/c a blood test is more accurate and detects more!

I've asked about three times if they could do a blood test but they wont. i live in the midlands in the UK. some of the girls i work with have said they wont do it as it's not general practice.
