I'm in the same situation. I think I may be pregnant after using Depo. While I was on Depo, it messed with my hormones all over the place. I was menstruating every day for two months, my hormones rose and then fell drastically and I was so very depressed for the three months I was on that birth control.
My husband and I wanted to wait a while before having our first baby, but now I think I might be pregnant. I took three at home pregnancy tests over the course of two months and all of them have read negative, however I'm having ALL the physical signs of pregnancy.
I even went to the doctor and they did a urine test, but that also read negative.
However, they told me that Depo can sometimes cause a hormonal imbalance so grand that I might be pregnant and still read negative. What do I do?
Hi, I think I may be pregnant and I'm on the depo as well. My next injections due and I'm scared in case I am and it affects the baby?. I have done some tests and I've only had faint lines so don't know if I actually am :/
_[removed]_ke1995 a faint line is a for sure line your preggo..Now my story i had a medical abortion October 21 i was 7 wks. i started on the depo shot and my body most have rejected it because im 10 weeks. As anyone could imagine im so confused and The guy im dating totally upset thinks i did it on purpose. depo shot really sucks im the 4th person i kno i got pregnant on this shot. This baby with no doubt we're raising.
Hi, im 20 yrs old. I got my depo shot in janurary. I had missed it by 3 eeks and the lady at the desk said i would need a failure restart and a pregnancy test. Well when i went in the back and was waiting the lady came in and gave me my shot and left. I sat and waited for the pregnancy test but they sent me home. Three days ago i took my own pregnancy test due to very bad nausea. Come to find out im pregnat! Not sure how far along yet. What do i do? Do i have a lawsuit on my hands? PLEASE HELP!
so have the depo shots doctors been giving not effective. I've been on the shot almost 2 1/2 years and so far it seems to work but recently i having pregnancy syptoms. Like yesterday my future husband was rubbing his hand over my stomach like the always does but last night it felt like butterflies was moving around. But today while i was at work i felt the same thing. I've been exprencing lower back aches, tender breast, cramping like i would start my period but not starting, was having weird craving the other week, and smelling weird things that isn't there. took a couple of hpt but neg but if you are to far won't tell
I was thinking that just the other day... I've been on depo two and a half years and never have had symptoms like this (extreme nausea, cramping, spotting, increased cm, breast pain, moodiness, and gum bleeding like nobody's business). In all honesty, up until now I didnt even know what cm was... that's how new this all is haha. I'm due for my injection but just started to switch to the pill for weight loss instead. All my symptoms began about two weeks to a week before switching so I don't think that's what's doing it, but everyone else seems sure. Sometimes you just have that instinct, you know? I've been reading around and apparently a majority of women (not all) seem to conceive in the third month of the injection as it starts to wear off. I've heard weight loss and long term usage of depo can reduce the effectiveness, but to my knowledge this has not been proven.
Any updates?
