Depo Shot No periods
Hi,
I was taking the Depo shot for just under a year, I was due for my last shot in January and decided not to get it because I was experiencing some side effects, so my last shot was sometime during November i think. Around the middle of March I had sex with a condom and began bleeding some, my breasts had been very sore as well so i thought that this was my period coming back, but i only bled some that day and then it stopped and my breasts were no longer sore. A couple months have gone by and nothing has happened no bleeding or anything. Is this normal when coming off of the Depo shot? I didnt have any periods before the sex and we used a condom, is there any chance I could be pregnant?
Please Help! Thanks!

I would start with how regular your periods were prior to the depo; If you typically only had periods every few months, that could be your normal cycle. Depo shouldn't affect the outcome of the pregnancy test and if you are having reason to believe you could be pregnant, then why not grab an over the counter test, just remember birth control or not, those things aren't 100%.
I have also been getting nausea and lightheadedness so i am worried if I could have gotten pregnant or if it is just a bug. Was going to get an at home pregnancy test but not sure which one would be best or if after being on the depo shot it would give me a false positive??
