    Trying to conceive after depo shot!
    I'm 18 years old and have a 2 year old daughter. I got my last depo shot on January 9th, then got my period May 30th but it was brownish. Two weeks later I ovulated and had unprotected as we are trying to conceive. My period came over 5 weeks late on July 12, and I have been bleeding since. The first couple weeks it was kind of heavy and blood clots but I don't think it was enough for a miscarriage. The past 3 days I've only been spotting. The first couple weeks I experienced fatigue, breast tenderness, anxiety, nausea, Weight gain, diarrhea, and frequent urination. I've done some research and came across ectopic and chemical pregnancy, miscarriage, or I just may be pregnant! Hopefully the latter! Thank you in advance!

    Unfortunately, for many women, it can take quite a long time for cycles to become regular again after the last depo injection.

    Since your are trying to conceive, and periods are irregular, consider testing once a month for pregnancy.

    The irregular bleeding could be due to a miscarriage. Chemical pregnancy often will be earlier on and mistaken for an off period. While periods stop in pregnancy, some women do have some bleeding. It could be due to your body still getting back on track.

    I would try a pregnancy test... nothing to lose! You will possibly get a positive with any of those scenarios.

    If not now, hopefully you won't have to try too much longer!
