My husband and I are trying to conceive. I had been on the depo shot for 7 years after the birth of our first child and then stopped using this. I started having regular periods again. Then in May of 2011 I went back on it, but didn't go back for a second shot. I then again started having periods regularly. My last period was on Dec. 27th and they usually last for 5 days. This one went like this I bled on the 27th and 28th, stopped on the 29th, and then started bleeding again on the 30th and 31st. I had sex on Jan. 1st, 4th, and 6th taking that my ovulation day should have been around the 8th, I am having all the symptoms but I am scared of taking a home test due to getting a negative result. What should I do?
