On the Depo Shot and seeing pregnancy symptoms, am i pregnant?

I'm worried that I may be pregnant. I've taken pregnacy tests before, because I'm always a little nervous whenever my period is late. But I've never completely missed a period, and when they're late it's usually only a week or a few days. I got the depo shot on March 20th of this year, and had my regular period after that, and then last month, i completely missed it. I don't know if this is because of the shot. But, I have been extremely tired, I fall asleep at random times during the day. I've never been that way, either. I've been nauseated without throwing up for about the same amount of time i've been over-tired (a couple weeks) and i've been getting cramps without ever started my period. I haven't even spotted. I have an increased need to urinate, but not too noticeably. My taste in food has changed dramatically. I used to love eggs and I can't even stand to smell them now. I might just have myself worked up and nervous but I would appreciate your thoughts on this. I did the whole "enter the date of the first day of your last period, and the average length of your cycle" and it said that the days i ovulated fell over the time i had sex. so, i'm a little worried.

ok, so, i'm on the depo shot and i've also had about 3 shots. i NEVER had a period untill now. it's not even really a period. i only see pink spotting after i pee and i have to pee ALL the time and before i never peed, only like twice or 3 times a day. now it like twice 3 times an hour. i'm tired all the time, my back, neck, and shoulders hurt. i feel sick almost 24/7. i can't stand to think about eating. just the thought makes me sick and i'm usually a pretty regular eater. my stomach is getting bigger but it's like close to the top of my belly. my mom even asked me one day out of the blue if i'd had sex lately. i told her i hadn't but i lied. i had sex every single night for a week or two and now i feel like this. it's been 3 1/2 weeks since i had sex and i've had that weird spotting for about a week. i took 2 home pee tests and they both said negative but i feel pregnant. can someone tell me ehat's going on?

I got my depo on the 18th of May, and had sex a couple days later. The day I got my shot I had ended my period and in April I miscarried. Is it possible to be pregnant? I'm having slight nausea here and there and my nipples are tender and sore. I was on depo last October to January and never had these symptoms on that shot. Can I be pregnant?
