Pregnancy symptoms while on Depo

Hey, I am worried that I might be pregnant. I got my first ever depo shot around March 9th of this year, it's now April 11th , a little more than a month after my shot and I am experiencing pregnancy symptoms as described below.: slightly more visible blue veins in my breasts, lower arms,hands, and upper chest (above my breasts). Just in these past few days I've felt fatigued, my appetite has increased a lot, i feel bloated, a little dizzy, and moody. I am overweight, polycystic ovarian disease, never had regular period in my life,on my first time ever depo shot,19, and extremely scared. On an added note, I had unprotected sex 6 days after my first shot and have had unprotected sex a few times since then. Also, I was put on the diet pill Phentermine the same day I was put on depo and I have recently (within the past 7 days) gone off Phentermine due to irritability, aggression, and mood swings. I don't know what to think of all of this and I feel as if I'm going crazy. Please, someone give me some insight as to what this could be. Thank you

Thank you so much TIddums, I've been searching Google for days now looking at forums all over for someone who has had experience with Depo and possible symptoms. Just needed to get some insight for myself personally. Ill definatly get a home pregnancy test to be sure. Thank you again.

Well your not totally safe by when you had sex, but I believe myself that your not and it's just the depo. I've tried that, and pills etc, and all of them at some point or another, and even after coming off them, experienced pregnancy symptoms, sometimes more severe than other times, and all very random on when or how severe. If your really worried take a test. I take tests regular because of this, and because of there still been a chance, which you may not realize due to no periods ect. while been on  contraception.
