Worried Am I Pregnant

I'm was on the depo shot for 6 months . I have no longer been on it for a month now. I have not got a.regular period I just spot everyday since being off. I had unprotected sex 12 days ago and the last two days I been getting dizzy and wanting to eat and then cant. Been really drained and lazy also. Anyway I can be pregnant. I know after the depo it can become very hard to have a.child until body becomes normal.

Hello,
All these symptoms look like hormonal changes due to side effects of depo provera but the possibility of pregnancy cannot be ignored. If you stop getting Depo-Provera injections, your period usually returns within 3 to 10 months but sometimes it may take 12-18 mths. You can do a urine for pregnancy test or get serum HCG test or an ultrasound uterus done from your gynecologist which are more specific tests than urine tests.

I hope it helps. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
