depo concerns

[jillian4316]

I recently have been feeling nauseas (more like just an upset stomache, I do not feel like I will throw up nor have I thrown up) and I've been burping a lot. I recently waited exectly 3 months to get my 4th depo shot (usually I wait 2-2 1/2 months) and the gyno said I'm probably feeling that sickness from my hormones changing. I got the shot for the 4th time but am still feeling some of those syptoms (which I've noticed the naseau is most noticed while in a car) I also do spot from time to time and bleed after frequent clitoral stimulation or sex.. Do you think I should be concerned for pregnancy or is it just my hormones?

My bf insists that I am not pregnant, and that perhaps I'm just sick in general like a normal sickness since I have not been sick in about a year and a half besides alergies.

Any suggestions? I'm only 19 and pretty confused and it is stressing me out.. HELP!

Hi, to anyone who digs this out again, google depo shot side effects, that should put you off ever having it.
Good luck

i am on my 3rd depo injection and i have been nauseaous and feeling bad ever since... this shot tricks you into thinkin you are pregnant. This shot is horrible. I am due for my 4th shot in april and i wont be getting it.

My nausea has gone away I just have some cramps here and therw which I've always gotten on depo, I recently had to give blood and a 24 hour urine sampling done for high blood pressure problems I've been having, the doctors have stated there were no red flags in any of my tests.. Would pregnancy have showing up in there since they were checking for things that cause a raise in blood pressure which pregnancy can do?

Hello,
Chances of pregnancy with a depo shot are less. Missed periods and changes in mood are the earliest symptoms of pregnancy. The area around your nipples turns dark. Tiredness, nausea and vomiting, sometimes referred to as morning sickness, ranging from queasiness to severe vomiting that can manifest just in the morning are also early symptoms.
If you notice these symptoms then chances of pregnancy are there. In that case, get your serum HCG levels checked.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
