Depo ended...am i pregnant?? plz help!!?

Question

Hi! I was due for my next depo shot last week,august 15th, (today is aug.23rd) .All that day i started having really bad cramps like iwas going to start my period around midnight i went to the bathroom and noticed that i had started bleeding. I bled light for about 2 hours. After that it stopped and i had light brown discharge when i wiped.

Then for the next 5 days i was having light cramping. (keep in mind i have unprotected s*x with the hubby every single day) Now about a week later im having pregnancy sypmptoms such as nausea, headaches, feeling faint, awful metal taste in my mouth( i seriously have to brush my teeth like 3x a day!), and ink on my tattoo is ithcy and swollen with little bumps on it(i read somewhere that happens to pregnant woman too).

I dont really know if i could be pregnant or if this is just my body detoxing itself of the depo. I took a pregnancy test today and it came back negative. I don't really know when to test seeing as i haven't had a period so i can't wait too see if i miss it or not. I'M really confused and would love some advice from ppl who have gone through this same thing. When should i test for pregnancy? Does this evn sound like pregnancy sypmptoms?? Thank you

Answer 1

Ok - If you ARE pregnant this soon after depo, you are 1 in a million!  I haven't had a shot since January 08 and I haven't gotten pregnant.  If you read up on this, there are a c**p load of horror stories about depo and girls who are desperate to have a baby and can't b/c of this c**p!  I also tasted the nasty metal taste.  It's just your body adjusting.  And another suggestion would be to consider a change of BC if you don't want to get pregnant, b/c depo is bad!  

Answer 2

If you are pregnant that fast after the Depo shot you are SO LUCKY!  I only took the stupid Depo two times, and its been almost 6 months with no baby. I haven't gotten any of those symptoms after getting off Depo, but your body could just be adjusting. Wait a few days, and if you don't feel better take another HPT, or call your doctor.

Also I'd stay away from Depo ever again its terrible screws everything up.

Answer 3

It took me exactly a year to conceive after my last depo shot but it also took 6 months before I had a period

Answer 4

if you are pregnant that soon after the shot, wow! i didn' t until about a year and a half after i went off of it. and i have heard it taking longer than that.  

Answer 5

I would recommend you see a Gynecologist
