Signs Of Pregnancy After First Missed Depo Shot

Okay,well, I had recently started depoo not neccessarily as birth control but to regulate my period. My first shot was in early december and I was due early march. I never went back for my next shot but my "Period" has seemed wierd. Normally I have a very heavy cycle and right now it has been very light and the color went from a light pink to brown. When i would noramlly be using a pad and a tmpon at the same time, im only using a pantyliner. My breasts are very sore and Ive been real achy and moody. Do you think I could be pregnant?

I was on the depo shot for about a year and was supose to get my last shot around September, but i didnt get it. my period came back almost right away and it seemed pretty normal, then i started getting it every 5 days or so but it was lighter. By boobs were super sore and they have deffinitly gotten bigger., my lower stomach area seems to be a little bigger too(but that very well could just be the weight gain from being on the depo) but i have sharp pains and aches in my lower stomach. im tired alot, and some smells make me nauseous. Its been about a month now, and I'm still getting my period 2-3 times a month but the other symptoms havent gone away. is there a chance im pregnant??

Hi Everyone, I  have been on the depo shot since my last child in 2011 she is now 4 years old. So that makes me been on this birth control 4 years, whole time I have gotten my shots on the regular, never missed one. I was suppose to go back for my shot this month on the #july 24th. Side effects made me not want to get back on it , I also wanted my body back to normal  as well as one of them I hated the most was weight gain, but the one i love the most is no period. I haven't had any periods since I been on the shot & that is total normally, others may have regular or irregular periods (everybody body is different). I have experience a lot of pregnancy symptoms like having to urine a lot now than usual, I have hot flashes or be hot at any given time, I crave fruits more than I ever thought I would, I have heart burns, I have lower back aches, my boobs seem to englarge, feelings tired than the usual, bloating, my eating habits would go from been hungry like I never eating a day in my life & may I add, there are times that it is hard for me to get food down or I easily feel full suddenly. I have loose stools as well so I'm trying to drink plenty of water for that & eat light meals at times. I notice today have not taken any hpts & I haven't went to the Dr. For blood test. But can I be pregnant? It's kind of scary to talk to family about it until I know for sure if I am.
