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.

ok, I'm on the depo but deciding to go off, now I know you can't ovulate without getting your period but strangely in the pasta few days I've been ridiculously tired, I mean I've slept from nine to two the next evening, I'm just thinking wtf it's been going on for four days now, plus for the past week I've been craving pasta...ew cos I know I don't like pasta but it's all I want, mind you I have a lot of resentment to Bolognese cos that's all my Mum cooked when I was little, oh and subway cookies...dam I could use one now, ah anyways I took a test...longest 3 minutes of my life! and it came out negative, plus I feel bloated fml put on 2.2kg in the past two weeks...I think, and my back hurts too right between the blades...oh and jeez I can't stop winging, idk what's going on...plus if I don't sleep long enough my head really hurts ah what the hell :(

I had my last shot in may 2012... My last shot was due in August I never went because my and my fiancé want to start a family.... My hips have been hurting and I spotted about 5-6 weeks ago my sense of smell has increased dramatically... I work retail and have gotten used to the wide variety of smells that my customers have... But for like 2 weeks now I have started noticing their smells... And some people are at least 5-10 feet away from me... No sore boobies yet but my stomach also feels really bloated and uncomfortable... Please can anyone tell me if I'm pregnant... I want to be so bad...

Hi I have been on depi on and off for 10 years I am 23 and have two kids (i was not on depo at the time of either)  I have been getting my shots now for almost a year pretty much on time but when it comes close to them getting due I start my period. I am now 2 days late on my shot and still no period. I have also been getting alot of the same symptoms I had when I was pregnant with my first two. Do you think I should worry???
