Hello. Well to start off, I am 15. I
will be 16 in october. I have been with
my boyfriend for 10 months, and I was on
the depo-provera birth control shot, I
took 3 shots but when I was supposed to
get my 4th shot I decided to get off of it
(because of excessive weight gain,
depression, ect.) well, this was on june
8th. I had always heard, and been told,
that you wouldn't get pregnant until after
your period returned, and you would be
fertile again. So...Thinking that, on
june 23rd, my boyfriend and I had
unprotected sex. A few days after that, I
had very light spotting. A week to a week
and a half later, for 4 days I didn't
really feel "up to" eatting. Well, today
is july 16th, and for the past 4 days, my
nipples have been extremly sore and
painful, kind of like a burning sensation,
but at times they feel numb. My period
still hasn't returned, and I have been
feeling "sluggish" and tired lately
aswell. Sometime within the next few days
if the tenderness doesn't go away I will
be picking up an at(in)-home-pregnancy
test. But any advice until then would be
great. And if any of you have been on
this shot, could you please inform me how
long it took you to get your period back?
Any advice is greatly appreciated...And I
did not post on here to get extremly
negative feed back, just advice.
And a little on my background
information:
i am 15, (as I stated above; soon to be
16). I am homeschooled, and proudly in
12th grade. I plan on getting a job as
soon as I turn 16; because I cannot get a
job until then because of the laws. For
about the past year, I have thought about
pregnancy. I am a stay-at-home kind of
girl, i'm not in the "partying" crowd.
And I would devote my life to a baby. I
was in a car accident last september, and
from that I have a pretty good amount of
money to start life out with. No, not
enough to raise a loving baby; but with my
devotion I would make it through. Since
i'm ready to work as of now, even without
knowing I am pregnant. So please, don't
tell me i'm "ignorant" or "selfish" as I
have seen on other posts'.
Thanks alot,
christa.

Hey christa.. Well. I can't help you
with the shot information..Because I
wasn't on the shot or pill.. But I can
tell you that.. Your best bet is to get a
hpt ... Sometimes your body will give you
mixed feelings.. If you've been stressing
weither or not your pregnant.. And you'll
get "false symptoms" and sometimes ..
There not false symptoms and you really
are pregnant.. Just relax and get a hpt..
And then depending on the results go from
there.. Like .. If it's negative and you
still don't feel right.. Talk to your
doctor about it.. And if it's positive ..
Definatly call your doctor for a
confirmation test .. To make sure.. I
know it's going to be tough.. I'de know.
I'm 17 and 15 and half weeks pregnant..
Sure it's exciting.. But i'de much rather
be older.. But I still love my baby..
:d ... Well good luck and keep me posted

You could be prego, but going off from
depo really messes with your body, I was
on it for 6years and when I went off it I
had to wait a year for my period and I was
sick for a long time, ive actually been on
meds because they screwed my body up soo
much. Good luck, I would go to doctor
:)

I was on depo for a while and I still
sometimes feel the effects from the shot
even after being off of it for 8 months.
It could still be the depo that is making
you feel this way. Take an hpt to make
sure, it could go either way. Good luck!

Well i'm not pregnant, and I still haven't
gotten my period back. Im sorry it took
me so long to update on this, but I was
having computer problems. I never thought
I would say this but I will be glad I get
my period back whenever it happens...I
will never use any form of bc that can
screw my body up this much again. Now i'm
worried that I will never be able to have
babies in the future...But hopefully that
doesn't happen and I can produce my little
youngins' because I would love to have a
little baby...One day. But thanks for all
of the replies/posts.
