On the Depo Shot and seeing pregnancy symptoms, am i pregnant?

I'm worried that I may be pregnant. I've taken pregnacy tests before, because I'm always a little nervous whenever my period is late. But I've never completely missed a period, and when they're late it's usually only a week or a few days. I got the depo shot on March 20th of this year, and had my regular period after that, and then last month, i completely missed it. I don't know if this is because of the shot. But, I have been extremely tired, I fall asleep at random times during the day. I've never been that way, either. I've been nauseated without throwing up for about the same amount of time i've been over-tired (a couple weeks) and i've been getting cramps without ever started my period. I haven't even spotted. I have an increased need to urinate, but not too noticeably. My taste in food has changed dramatically. I used to love eggs and I can't even stand to smell them now. I might just have myself worked up and nervous but I would appreciate your thoughts on this. I did the whole "enter the date of the first day of your last period, and the average length of your cycle" and it said that the days i ovulated fell over the time i had sex. so, i'm a little worried.

I got the shot about 3 or 4 weeks ago. I had sex somewhat two days before my two weeks to wait ended. Im 16 , i have non stop brown discharge and im freaking out! What is this stuff? I haven't started my period either. I had my period before i got the shot, two weeks before possibly. But my question is what is this brown discharge and why wont it go away? I have had it for almost two weeks now!

The discharge is common. It happened to me when I got the shot the first time. I don't get a period now so eventually you might just start to spot once in a while when you would normally have your period

felling pregnant is part of the symtoms of the depo injection, i have been on it for nearly 5 years now and the amount off time i convinced myself i was pregnat is too many to count. you get all the symptoms of pregnacy, sore or tender boobs, more need to uranate, cravings, back pain, morning sickness, stomach cramps, discharge, mood swings and even convincing myself i was pregnant and becoming really broody and telling myself i was going to keep the baby even though i wasnt even prenant in the first place. i suggest you all stop worring about signs and symptoms of pregnancy and if you are really woried or convinced go and see your gp. just remember you are all not alone. good luck to you all.
