Hi! I had my first and only depo shot on August 2, 2011. Which means I'm due for it today. I am not going to take it again. I have some weird symptoms and I'm not sure what they mean.
Nausea
Bloating
Swelling/ sore breast
Abnormal amounts of discharge
Hair loss (scalp)
Cravings
Aversions to food and smells
Heightened sense of smell
Mood swings like crazy
Cramping in my lower stomach
Lower back pains
Mild headaches
I passed out once after getting up to the bathroom
I don't have to pee every second but I don't feel like I have to pee until I'm about to burst
I have taken 2 hpt, the first at night, which was a faint positive, the second in the morning, which was negative.
I had my period on depo every month. I didn't think about tracking the days but it was every month. The first month it was spotting, the second it was a full out period with terrible cramps, and the third was spotting again. I was wondering if I could be pregnant, if I'm just coming off the shot, or if I'm about to start my period. Also, how long will it take me to get pregnant after one shot? Thank you everyone who will answer!:)

it's VERY unlikely that you are pregnant that soon after depo... When you come to the end of a shot and due for the next one, or decide not to go back, your body kind of has withdrawals which are exactly like pregnancy symptoms and unfortunately this can go on for a good few months. I had my last shot in feb (9 months) and my period is only just getting back to normal, still a bit erratic and this was after only one shot.
It can take UP TO 18 MONTHS after the last shot to get pregnant, sometimes even longer...annoying but true :(

Ohy goodness. That's terrible. I wish my doctor would have told me that. They need to stop using this c**p. It's the worst thing ever. I've never wanted my period but it's so annoying. I'm 28 days late now. I guess I can wait another 3 months...

I only had one Depo shot. I never went back to get my second one. When will my period start to come back? And how soon can I get pregnant?
