pregnancy test results...alot of worrie

For about the past month now i have been having tons of pregnancy symptoms...i have the intense heart burn..stomch pains sore breasts, darker nipples...tired..I am currently using Depo Provera and have been for a while now...i no longer menstrate...I have been tested both by blood and urine and they have both came back (-) negative...I was wondering if they could in anyway be wrong and if I could actually be pregnant....is it true that being on Birth control can affect a pregnancy test? thank you so much!!!

People on Depo seem to either bleed alot, or not bleed at all. Its pretty normal that you have had no period in months.
Depo will not affect your preg test. Preg tests measure bHCG in your blood. Depo-provera contains progesterone.
Depo can give you PMS type symptoms, which can often be similar to early preg.
If you are still concerned, go to your doc and get a bHCG blood test done. The blood test is very accurate.

if you think you may be pregnant, how far along would you be? usually tests are very acurate and if its negative, the majority of times..its negative. do you WANT to be pregnant? if so, your body and mind can "work wonders" and you may get symptoms of pregnancy even if you are not. also, many pregnancy signs are either your period coming or attributed to other things.. stress and so on. you said yo no longer have a period? when was the last time and has your dr. explained why?
