depo and pregnant?

[dixiemom86]

i had my first depo shot 12 weeks prior to oct 25th. i was suppose to go back for my second one, but i haven't yet because i had a home pregnancy test come up positive. i have one child already but i never experienced any symptoms with her. i have been having headaches, stomach cramps, pain and cramps in my lower legs, and nausea. also my stomach is starting to swell. in august they tested me to make sure i was not pregnant and i wasnt. how possible is it to have gotten pregnant after the shot? will it hurt the baby if so?

Did the doc tell you to use other prote. after your 1st shot? I had the depo as well, im doc said to use other protec. as it takes a while to get in your body......
