A member asked:

Do you get pregnancy symptoms when you get off the depo-provera shot ? the last shot i had was dec 5th i was scheduled for feb 26th.

Cycle symptoms: Once you come off of the Depo-Provera shot, you will resume cycle related symptoms that, in some cases, might mimic pregnancy related symptoms (breast tenderness, fatigue, etc.). If you might be pregnant, then take a pregnancy test!
