hi, i took a shot of depo in january but did not continue. my doctor said the last day i could get the shot was april 24th. i had unpretected sex that day an almost daily since then. I bled while on depo for the last month of it but after the 24 it stopped. i had some light brownish discharge on May 12-13 and nothing since then. ive taked 3 urine tests that say negative but im bloated. i feel full a lot and i have tender breasts. i want to conceive and continue to have unpretected sex. can i get pregnant so soon after depo? is it too early to test?

What you have been experiencing - tender breasts, bloating, menstrual irregularities - are all common when using Depo-Provera. Some of these will go away within the first year of its use. But in your case, you had one injection, and stopped. These things should go away on their own in a while, but they will probably need a little time. If they persist for more than a couple of months after you stopped, then maybe it would be something to discuss with your physician/ob-gyn..
As for your chances of conception, it usually takes while to get pregnant once stopping Depo-Provera. Keep in mind, however, that these percentages are for women who have been on it for a while - unlike you. So, it may take a little less time in your case, but anyway, as a guideline:
* 68% of women conceive within 12 months
* 83% of women conceive within 15 months
* 93% of women conceive within 18 months

I hope this helps to answer your questions.
Good luck with everything!

Sad Well I Was On It For One Month, And Got Off The Depo And Was Having Similar Signs Like menstrual Irregularities, Bloating, And Tender Breasts, But I Feel Like I Might Be Pregnant? Is That Possible If It Was Only My First Time.
