Question Title: Depo Provera, after being off for 6 months just now missing periods?

Forum: The Maternal and Child Health Forum
Topic: Pregnancy - Normal



I was on depo for 1 year and still had a period, unlike most. I have been off of it for 6 months. I am 2 months late and have taken 3 home tests that have came back neg. Could I be preg. I dont have any symptoms just the other way around I have a lack of appatite. I am 28 married and now using foam or a condom.

Any help would be great, I am really worried.

Dear Sally:
When a woman has missed two menstrual periods and has 3 negative home pregnancy tests, she needs to see a physician. Changes in weight, exercise pattterns, endocrine problems such as thyroid disorders, and lifestyle issues such as moving, job changes can all influence menstrual periods.
