Question

pregnancy symptoms way to early..on first shot of dep!!

on depo, 1st shot sept 9..no period till nov 10...sex nov 21..ovulated nov 24..been having pregnancy symptoms very early though, since ovulation just about, starting with sore breasts.. taken a few hpt..all negative. I have tow sets of twins and a teen plus have had an ectopic and miscarriage so I know what pregnant feels like. but im on depo and having symptoms way to early. ultrasound was all clear, no signs of pregnancy, firbroids, nothing. wondering if I could really be pregnant or if there is some other hormonal issue I should have checked out

It's probably the progesterone from the depo causing your symptoms. Side effects include irregular periods, tender breasts, dizziness, cramps, acne etc. All the best.

Hi. I got one depo shot. Didn't go back for the second. Didn't get my period for 4 months. I had pregnancy symptoms for about a year. It was horrible. It took 18 months after the one and only depo shot to get pregnant. I have heard of women getting pregnant while on depo but it's rare. If your ultrasound was clear then I'd say your not pregnant. It prevents ovulation and contains synthetic hormone progestin. Basically makes your body think it's pregnant. Although you can have breakthrough bleeding. Here's some information I found.

thanks guys. this just feels different. I know depo can play tricks on you but im urinating every five minutes and have that strange crampy full feeling as well as nausea and tiredness...I fell super pregnant and was figuring it was too early to test. would be my luck I would be that 1%..not that I would be too upset, just unexpected. plus I been on depo all my life except for when I had my kids and never experienced anything like this. I guess I have to wait it out a few more weeks and see what happens. I will never take another shot after this if its determined that's what it really is :(.

I had the depo once almost 2 years ago and it was horrible. I didn't have a period for 4 months after the shot and when I did they were light and short for a few months. We started ttc and every month I was convinced I was pregnant but it was all down to the depo. It took me a year after it wore off to conceive. Hope you get the bfp you want soon :)
