I am concerned that i may be pregnant just because of the way i have been feeling lately and i wanted to know if i should take a further step and take a pregnacy test. i had been on depo since december of 2008 and stopped taking it in august of 2010. i started my period november 1 and it ended december 27 2010. i have looked up different calenders to see when i could have concevived and it says november 27 which is when i had sex because my period had lighting up as if it was done few days later i began to bledd heavily agian and began to bleed like a period and it lighting up agian i had sex agian and began to cramp once we were done having intercourse. i have been getting heartburn from almost everything i eat or it upsets my stomach, which is really not normal for me to get at all, i felt dizzy over my xmas break and had really bad stomach pains and nasua and all i wanted to do was sleep but i didnt pay it much attention because my husband stomach had been upset to so we thought that maybe we just ate something bad but his pains have went away and mine are still here like right now i feel as if i have to throw up but i never do my dreams lately have been a little crazy one night im dreaming of people getting killed and the next night im dreaming of me at my babyshower or at the hospital having the baby or at a doctor visit with my husband. and i have never had dreams like this before. i have been having gas alot lately last night my breast nipple felt as if it were leaking but nothing was there they are a little sore and have grown in size a little i have gained weight but i think thats just because i have gotten off the depo my stomach was hurting last night and my husband rubbed it for me but even a slight pressure to it was a little painful
Hello, and I hope I can help you today. Anyone who has unprotected sex is at risk for pregnancy. However, many women can also experience irregular cycles and hormonal imbalances after discontinuing Depo-Provera. Some women do not resume normal monthly cycles or ovulation for even up to year. So it can be difficult to rule out pregnancy if you have irregular cycles after taking Depo-Provera. Unfortunately, pregnancy related symptoms can vary widely between women and actually most women do not have any symptoms of pregnancy at all before a missed menstrual period. Furthermore, many women experience psychological symptoms of pregnancy due to unconscious fears or desires. So I would suggest that you do a urine pregnancy test, so that you know for sure what is going on. If you do not desire pregnancy, I would suggest that you select an alternative method of contraception because even if women do not get periods regularly they still can be at risk for pregnancy. I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today, and that my advice was helpful. Best wishes,
