This is going to be a long one.

STarting on November 4th, I began to have unprotected sex after some time. We used condoms every time, but had a mishap that weekend. I took PLan B, got my period two days later, and everything was fine.

I waited for my next period... Waited. Two weeks later I had light-bleeding after sex, thought I got my next period, but still nothing. Then I took a pregnancy test at home, it was negative (after 4 weeks). That was great Smile

So, later that week, I went to the Sexual Health Clinic to get another preg test and get a perscription for Depo-Provera and get a pap-test and Chlamydia test. The pap went well, I got my perscription, and I still wasn't pregnant. They said if I didn't wait until my next period to get the Depo shot, I had to use back-up contraception (ondoms) for a week. I said ok. The next day, I got the shot done. They never did call me if I had CHlamydia, and said they would call only if they found anything.

Now, I have light bleeding, just spotting, right after sex. I don't get any pain, just that, and I still haven't gotten my period -it has been almost 2 weeks I've been on the shot, and almost 2 months since my last official period.

Medical history: I should include that I have had three operations for ovarian cysts. A laparotemy(spelling?) and a laproscopy(spelling?). They supposedly took out my right ovary and tube, and told me the left tube was bent, so I was less likely to get pregnant now.
Off and on for the past year, and significantly more the past wek, I've been having pain where my right ovary should be. Just sudden sharp pains, nothing like ovulation pains, an it's only contained to that one area. I am starting to think that they only removed the tube? I just went for an ultrasound last week, and the woman told me that yes it was the right side they removed, but that's after she gave me a funny look doing it and asked me 'you're sure they took out the right ovary?' It freaked me out a bit. The results have not been in yet.

SO, my questions. Phew:

1. What is causing the bleeding? Is it the Depo?
2. Any chance I could be pregnant? I have no other signs of pregnancy.
3. Another Ovarian cyst maybe? Or could it possibly be Endometriosis?

Right now I am also on extra-strength antibiotics for a UTI. Please let me know if that could cause anything.


Thanks!

Hi! I had problems with PLAN B. It would delay my period every time I would take it (for a few days though not 2 months Sad. I don't think that you are pregnant, the ultrasound would have revealed it if tests did not.

It is quite possible that Depo is causing the bleeding. Hormones can cause such symptoms.

I suppose you had a blood test at the clinic...if so, it would reveal if you had some kind of an infection and an ultrasound would have showed if there were other things that could be causing bleeding like cysts or fibroids.

I hope everything goes back to normal soon. Good luck!
