Ok well I am on the depo-shot I started it in october..And I started spottin this brownish stuff about a week or so ago and well I got no period for november my period has never been regular tho anyways I heard the depo shot messes with ur periods and can make them late light heavy early whatever well I started havin to pee alot probably last thursday night, still am and I started to spot pinkish blood saturday and have been since then and I went to the doc and had a urine pregnancy test done and it came back neg and the nurse said with me bein on the shot I probably had nothing to worry about but I did take 2 days of anti-biotics and I heard those could mess with it...I dont know whether to believe the test results or not..What do you all think?

Maybe you should try asking them for a blood test just to make sure.....

False positives are rare~while on the other hand, false negative can occur. Yup~def. Get a blood test done just to be on the safe side Wink

Im goin for a blood test tomorrow and go from there but I already think I know what I would have to do..Im still in highschool no job no stability and my boyfriend has no job still lives at home...I got on the shot because everyone even the doctors told me it was like 99% effective and im 17 about to be 18 and I should have thought about this before I went about having sex...I was virgin uptil october and made the decision to give it to my current boyfriend which I dont regret I just regret not being more careful with it..

I was on the depo shot for 2 alomst 3 years.. During that time I spotted but never had a period.. When I got off of it, it took me almost 1 1/2 years to get my periods back to normal.. I still am not really regular.. The shot is the most effective I know that well.. But it takes about 18 months to get out of your system

Well I went and had my blood test done today they said the results should be in tomorrow afternoon...I wont be suprised if they are positive I hope not but they probably will be since I had my hopes up after the urine test came back neg. Then I got to thinkin as to how many symptoms I had and what all could affect a urine test..And today they didnt wanna give me a blood test because they had already givin me the urine test they said it wasnt needed but I still got it done...

i stopped my period after 2 months on the shot and did not start it again untill about 2m onths after I stopped taking it 2 years later. It's probably the shot.
