I was on depo provera but stopped after 2 shots. When it was time for my 3 shot I thought I was having a period but only had brown discharge for 3 to 3 1/2 months then stopped on April 23. Had unprotected sex with husband several times after that. I haven't had a period since I stopped the 3 month one. I don't know if and when I will have a period but I took one HPT in the middle of the day and it came back negative. Should I wait a retest again and when should I retest, it hasn't been a week yet since my last test. I have been nauseous for the past few weeks but was put on B-6 vitamin so I don't feel sick anymore after I take it in the morning, I am tired all the time, more tired then usual, I have to use the bathroom all the time and my nipples are so, not so much my breasts mainly my nipples. Should I worry or wait a couple of weeks and test again?
Sorry if this is confusing can clarify some if needed.
Thank you for reading and helping if you can

With all due respect sweetheart its very unlikely you are pregnant depo has the worse side effects ever and you will have out ragious symptums for months. If you aren't having regular periods then you aren't ovulating then you aren't going to conceive.
If you are honestly thinking you may be pregnant then I suggest you go see your dr and have him take bloods and also ask him about the tierdness.
Depo can take a year to leave your system no matter how many times you had it some it takes less but its very common for most women who have received it to have erational periods, sore body parts and mood swings just to name a few.

Had to spread it around cbw... Ok depo puts you in a post menopausal state and as such your body stops producing estrogen. In order for your body to start that again it takes anywhere from 12 months to 18 months and then it's not 100% that you will be able to conceive after that. Depo also puts you at risk for osteoporosis and a tremendous amount of weight gain. All this and what cbw has said is true to the best of my knowledge. I have first hand experience with the shot on and off for three years. If you still have doubts please go see your dr.

Read any of my posts on the depo shot and you will see my opinion on the shot, and my bad expereinces with it. But I will tell you that I went in for my third shot, and switched to the pill instead of getting that third shot because of the crappy side effects.so I was only on it for two shots as well. It took 12 months for my periods to get back to normal, and for me to feel slightly human again, and 18 months to get pregnant. Its possible to get pregnant while on the shot, but very unlikely. However, its very important to address the situation with your doctor, for the safety of you and your pregnancy if you ARE pregnant. Good luck hun.
