Depo and Pregnancy
by Niecy76, Oct 30, 2009 12:17AM
I have a question... here's my situation. My last depo shot was on 5/29/09 and did not go back...I have been having all the pregnancy symptoms. The last time that I had sex was 10/10/09.. When should I test? I have also not had a period since I was on depo.My previous test have all came back negative. I had an ultrasound done on 10/23/09 that did not show a baby and blood test was done on 10/19/09 but nothing there either. i have 2 kids already..One was conceive off ortho tri cyclen.. The other was a surprise..I thought I had food poisoning...LOL..What are your thoughts.

If you had sex on 10/10 and had a blood test just 9 days later, depending on the type of blood test, it was probably too soon. Ditto for your ultrasound.
If you are getting off Depo and haven't resumed having periods, you should probably test for pregnancy each month, regardless, until you resume having normal cycles. Ovulation can occur at any time after discontinuing use.
Many women do not get a regular, ovulatory cycle back for a long, long time. But sometimes there will be sporadic ovulation occuring, hence its a good idea to take pregnancy tests regularly.
Use a sensitive test and a first morning urine.
