Depo shot and pregnancy

[monkeygirl1988]

I am 24 years old with 2 boys. One 7 and one 4. With my oldest I took 14 pregnancy test before last one told me I was for sure prego. All others told me I was not. I think I might be pregnant again. Sore boobs, always wanting to throw up, super tired where I can't stay awake, So weak, Head hurts. Just all the signs of pregnancy. I was on the depo shot for about 4 years now. I Stopped taking it and was suppose to take it 3 or so months ago. I was told by several different ppl that if someone is on the shot for several years. It could take a long time to get prego but now I think I am......Anyone have any Thoughts?

I was on depo for 3 years. Stopped then a month later i was pregnant. I'm 30 week and 2days currently. I thought the same thing about it taking at least a year to get out of your system..its wrong lol. Good luck!

Thank you. I hope thats all that is it. My boyfriend lives with me and we like to have sex alot and dont always use condoms. So its not just me having sex once in a blue moon. So i know there is more possiblity then most ppl who only have sex once and think they are. Not saying they couldn't be but I have a doctor appt in the next few days so hopefully They give me some good news. I am just worried.If I was I'm pretty sure my bf would pass out if they told me I was.

I also started having symptoms a couple months of not getting another shot.

I took depo one time and it screwed up my hormones bad. One of the side effects is depo can make you feel like you are pregnant....my experience is that I was having pregnancy symptoms I was even leaking out of my nipples. So I thought that I was for sure pregnant. So I went to the doctors and they gave a blood test and it came back negative. So I made another appt because I wasn't having any periods and my doctor informed me it can take up to a year to leave your system and that my hormones were all out of whack because of it. So about 5 months later my period returned with a vengeance I was having 2 periods a month and bleeding for a week and a half each time. So my doctor had to put me on the pill for 6 months to help regulate it and informed me that I may only ovulate every 4 months and 7 months later I became pregnant. Depo ruined me.
