Question 1

i have all pregnacy symptoms and positive pregnacy tests and one negative but i took a depo shot in september can i be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Yes: if you had sex without contraception, pregnancy symptoms and a positive pregnancy test, you certainly can be pregnant.  Let's assume that you are.  The best thing for you to do is to see a provider who can determine for sure how far along you are and get you started on good prenatal care.

Question 2

hi i've been taking the depo shot for four years now and i have never actually felt symptoms of being pregnant til now. could i be prego ?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: You shouldn't be.   If you are not overdue for your shot, I wouldn't worry about it.

Question 3

i've been on the depo shot for 3 yrs now and i just recently starting experiencing pregnancy symptoms am i or no ? i took 2 tests it said negative.

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: I am sure you were told that having a depo shot does not protect you right away,you should be practicing a safe sex.they usually tell the patient to be careful at least for a cycle or two.
i do not know what your age ,or you sexual habit,but pregnancy is not the only thing a women should fear,please practice safe sex.
my advise see your GYN.
good luck.
i hope that answer your question.
thank you.

Question 4

i'm on the depo shot for 4 years and having pregnancy symptoms. i have regular sex with my boyfriend but he always pulls out. chances being pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Pretty Good: No birth control is perfect. "Pulling out" is not a reliable way to prevent pregnancy. Try an early pregnancy test from the drugstore. If negative, wait a week and repeat the test. If positive, see your OBGyn. If it turns out you're not pregnant then something else is going on. Check it  out. Buy your boyfriend a box of condoms. Tell him "No glove - no love."

Question 5

i got my first depo-provera shot june 12 its due again but i'm not getting it what symptoms might i go though while the depo-provera wears off and my body regulates?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding: You can expect irregular periods for awhile. If you haven't been having periods it may take awhile for them to resume and they will probably be irregular at first. If you are not ready for pregnancy, use another method of contraception since you can conceive before you have that first period.

Question 6

could i be pregnant? i was on the depo shot for a year. missed my shot 7 weeks ago. having pregnancy symptoms for 3 weeks now.

Accepted Answer

Maybe: The depo works by using hormones to trick your body into believing you are pregnant.You would then not release eggs but save them for later.If the depo hormone level dropped enough, you would start releasing eggs and might get pregnant.

Question 7

if you are on depo-provera shot and have a dark brown colored discharge , is that something to be concerned about ? my friend has reported the same symptoms .

Accepted Answer

Not usually: This may be just from breakthrough bleeding with the Depo-Provera shot.  If it continues fter a week or if it happens several times a month, see your gyn.

Accepted Answer

Virtual consult: I would get a pregnancy test right away.  if you want to talk more please set up a virtual consult.
