Can you be pregnant while on the depo provera shot? I had sexual intercourse but the condom broke and this happened the same week that I got the shot. I am also having all the pregnancy symptoms but I don't know if I am pregnant or not.
laughingtiger82 replied: "when i first started getting the shot, my doctor told me that it could take up to two weeks to become fully effective and to make sure to have protected sex during that time. it's possible you could be pregnant. if i were you, and this accident happened yesterday or the day before, i'd go get some plan b."
mom2 replied: "Of course you could be pregnant. However, because the Depo-shot is a shot of Progesterone, it causes symptoms in your body that it is in a state of perpetual pregnancy.
I was on Depo-provera for 9 months after I had my first baby. It made me gain back 15 pounds, and caused me to go crazy. I mean it actually made me suicidal, and made me think things that I never would have thought of before. And, it definitely wasn't post-partum issues, because I was joyful about my baby, and was confused as to why I would have flashes of crazy. I also had a girlfriend who took Depo-provera for 5 years, and has never been pregnant, but always had the symptoms, including lactating frequently. This form of birth control is bad, and I would recommend getting on to something else. I know it seems easier, and less expensive, but it totally isn't worth putting your body through all that. Think about switching to something more in line with what your hormones should be naturally.
Once I realized that it wasn't me it was the shot, I stopped using all forms of birth control (I was married and ok with being pregnant if it happened), and I lost 35 lbs. in less than 3 months and the crazy feeling went away. Best wishes to you."
depo provera and pregnancy? ok if you had protected sex before your very first injection of depo provera, and then you thought you were pregnant would you still show up ona hpt if you were really pregnant?? and if you get pregnant while on the shot do you still have the abnormal bleeding that comes along with the depo or does the pregnancy hormone take over and you exhibit symptoms of pregnancy?? basically if you are bleeding for over 40 days while on the shot can you still be pregnant?? or are you just reacting to the shot?? all hpts have been neagative , and is bloating a side effect of the shot??

pregnancy on depo provera? i am on the depo-provera shot and i have been on it since august.
it is now october and i have been having unprotected sex since i got the shot.
i have had MANY symptoms of being pregnant and i just FEEL pregnant for some reason.
and when on this birth control shot, you arent 'supposed' to bleed but you can?
i dont really understand that but..
so, like i said, i got the shot and august and have not bled any untill last week.
i bled for four days. lighter than my normal period has ever been and i also had severe pains in below my bellybutton and i also had sharp pains when i walked, moved, etc.
my normal period cramping is never anything like that.
but for the past few weeks i have had frequent urination. i have never had to urinate this much before, ever.
and also, i am constantly hungry and very thirsty.
when i eat spicy food my stomach tends to get very upset like a burning feeling behind my ribs and stomach and very nausiated.
and i have some constipation and diarrea at times and alot of gas. i have some crampng in my lower stomach, but you can barely feel them. also, i have some backaches and if i sit for a while my butt starts to ache.
i have been so tired and i go to sleep so early and have been for the past few weeks.
and alot of time after i eat, i feel so full and really bloated.
but i feel bloated pretty much all day long.
morning sickness comes and go; not much though.
it usually only hits me at night, only once or twice when i first wake up, and sometimes after i eat. i'm not throwing up, but it is nausiated and i read that is counted as 'morning sickness'
also, if i sit indian style, like right now- my hip starts to ache on one side.
sometimes, like in the shower i feel very faint and sometimes lose my balance.
i had somewhat of a cold (runny nose, head stopped up, & coughing) & i read that sometimes comes with pregnancy.
i need help figuring this out.
thanks.
also, i do have sore breasts.
not all over, just underneath & on the sides of my armpits. they are very sore.
its weird because on the left side it hurts more to touch underneath my armpit, but on the right side its pretty equal.
what could be the cause of that??

yessy replied: "Yeah it could be that you are pregnant. I got pregnant on the patch... That was a total shocker! Take a home pregnancy test, if that doesn't help, go see a Dr. There might be something else going on...
Take Care..."
Elora Ann 12/27 replied: "When I had the Depo shot I had similar symptoms, now I am not saying you can not be pregnant, all I am saying is what I experienced, when I brought my symptoms up to my doctor he said that depo has synthetic hormones that MAY delay or stop your periods all together. Also this surge in hormones can trick you body into feeling pregnant. You can get the bloating, hunger, morning sickness etc that mimic pregnancy but it is your body dealing with an increased hormone. It took a few months and I started feeling normal again. As for the hunger be careful, depo is known to make women gain a significant amount of weight while using this birth control. I had to stop gettin the shot because I gained 45 pounds in the first year and a half. As for the feeling of light headed that can also be a reaction to the shot. The only thing I can tell you for sure is talk to your doctor and they always do a pregnancy test before they see you while on depo. The depo can do alot of things to your body."
Depo Provera Pregnancy? I got the Depo shot in April of this year, and did not get a period during that month. In late May, I had a 3 week period, but it stopped. Then, during June, I was on anti-biotics for 2 weeks because of an UTI infection. Now, lately I've been experiencing pregnant like symptoms. (Headaches, back aches, stomach pain.) Through the whole time I've been on the shot, I've been having sex without a condom with my boyfriend. Is it possible for me to be pregnant, or am I worrying over nothing? Also, has anyone ever become pregnant while on the shot? (I don't want answers from someone who was off schedule either.)
Thanks.

Can you get pregnant while on the Depo Provera Shot? I had my baby 2 months ago and I didnt get my period cause I was still bleeding from giving birth. I had my period in July but I didnt get my period in August. I took a pregnancy test and it came out negative. Ever since about 2 weeks ago Ive felt something move inside my stomach but I dont have any pregnancy symptoms. I did have unprotected sex since the shot works for three months and I got it when I left the hospital and Im scheduled for my next shot next week. What could be happening?
*Mommy Bimbo* replied: "No the shot stops ovulation"
jessiekay replied: "Im not sure but that's pretty weird. I know someone who was on the depo for 6 months and was pregnant the whole time and got negative pregnancy tests. They should test you again before you get the next shot i would bring it up before you get it so maybe they can do the blood test. I have taken the depo before as well it caused alot of problems for me."
Ava Lynn born 8-4-09 replied: "you are feeling gas because regardless you just gave birth two months ago and you wont feel a baby move inside of you until around 5 to 4 months along. you didnt get a period because the shot can stop your period. but yes you can always get pregnant with any birth control they are not 100%."
being pregnant while on depo provera? I know many people who have had babies while on the depo shot. I currently believe I am pregnant. I have almost all the symptoms. I am up to date on my shot. I got it in July and I'm not due for it again until October. It is now September and I strongly believe that I am pregnant. I also have not had my period the entire time I have been on the shot. I don't really know if a pregnancy test will work while on the shot.
shermiegyrl replied: "Call your doctor. You need to have a pregnancy test run, right away. If you are pregnant, you and your doctor can discuss the best way to proceed from there.
Lack of a period is not a good indicator of whether or not you are pregnant. Hormonal birth control either stops your periods alltogether or causes you to have "false" periods on a certain schedual."
Heather R replied: "See a doctor for a pregnancy test, the tests you buy at home have a good chance of being wrong because of the chemicals they use.
I also got pregnant while on the depo provera shot and miscarried at 16 weeks. My doctor did not attribute this to being on the depo shot when I got pregnant however...
this can give you some good info
Good luck!"

alexia replied: "i used the depo shot for a year and a half was compleatly up to date with it never missed an appointment or had any problems with my shot
around march 2007 i noticed i was putting on weight and then by the end of april 2007 i was feeling nauseous everyday and unable to eat any food.
i booked in to the doctors and they did lots of tests for diabetis and iron deficiancys a week later the results came back negitive so they called me back in for blood tests and whilst i was there they suggested to rule out pregnancy with a pregnancy test i took a urine pot into the cubical and brought it back for the doctor i wasnt worried as i thought that it was simply going to rule out pregnancy
the doctor carried out the test whilst sat at his desk then simply turned to me and said were going to have to arrange you a dating scan... ???
i was a little shocked and asked what he meant, he went on to explain the test was positive and as i had been on the depo it was extreamly urgent i had a dating scan to confirm how far into the pregnancy i was
whilst i sat on the chair in shock he rang the local hospital, 10 miniutes later an ambulence was taking me to the hospital, once there i was given a private room with a telephone to ring my partner and a water machine for me to keep getting drinks of water from to fill my bladder
i rang my partner and told him where i was and what ward i was on i was in too much shock to tell him why i was there and he didnt ask he just came straight away when he arrived i explained what had happend to him and he was as shocked as me and slightly scared as we hadnt known i was pregnant we had been going about our lives as usual and i hadnt been taking any floic acid or vitamins etc...
shortly afterwards we where sat on the bed and the ob was begining the scan... i was looking up at the screen expecting to see a little jelly bean appear when all of a sudden and image of a baby appeard i could see the head the arms the legs the spine the features of the face everything !! the ob turned to me and said you have what appears to be a perfectly developed healthy sized 4 month baby my partner and i both burst into tears she then asked if we would like to know the sex as she could see it
in the space of a day my whole life changed i fell in love with the little baby girl that had unbeknown to me been growing in me all this time and my partner and i fell in love with the idea of becoming parents a week later the extra weight i had been carrying formed into a prefectly round bump so if i hadnt found out that day it would of become quite obvious lol and i began feeling my little angel move at about 6 months
she was due on the 14th of this month however i guess she is running a little late :)
a pregnancy test will work as the one the doctor used on me was just an average clear blue test and it worked fine on me
good luck to you !!!!!

ஐ♥Julian'sMommy♥ஐ replied: "I do not know of anyone that has gotten pregnant while on the shot (but i guess it can happen)
I was on the depo shot for 3 1/2 years and we never used any other form of birth control and i didn't get pregnant. I think it is the best form of birth control.
I did not have my period the entire time i was on the shot, yes for 3 1/2 years.
If your pregnant take a pregnancy test, it will show up if you are. The shot will not affect a pregnancy test."
