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.

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.
