A member asked:

Could i be pregnant if i am bleeding and its not my period time? i get a depo-provera shot every 3 months and i just got one. its definitively not my time for a period.

Please : Please take a pregnancy test to be sure, although it may be that your hormones are just out-of-balance temporarily. If it is negative, but you are still concerned, see your provider and have a blood pregnancy test which is more accurate. If you have pain, light-headedness, or heavier bleeding then you must be seen as an emergency.
