Okay, so I was on depo for a year (4
shots) and i've recently stopped taking
the shot because of the ostioperosius(sp?)
risk and the hormones reacting badly with
my body. My last shot was mid-december.
And I still haven't gotten my period yet.
I know that it can take up to a year (or
more) before I get it again, but that's
usually more for long term users, right?
I was only on it for a year.
I had irregular periods to begin with, but
I don't know if that would be relevant.
My boyfriend has penetrated me without a
condom on (only a few times, but I know
anything matters) and I fear that I could
be pregnant. Not only because i'm not
getting my period, but also because the
last few weeks, all of a sudden my body
went way out of whack. I've got all the
symptoms of innsomnia/narcolepsy and i've
missed a couples nights completely of
sleep. I've been having more migraines
since off depo as well(i had none when on
it). I've also been really sick feeling
(worse than before with the hormones) and
i've had a strange appatite. I've gone a
couple days without eating (because i'm
feeling too sick) or i'll feel like I
can't eat, but i'll be craving something
like noodles, then I eat it, it feels a
but better, then five minutes later I feel
worse again.
I've also had slight cramping, I know that
can be a sign of pregnancy...
This is getting pretty long, but I had to
explain that all...My main question is if
the depo is still in my system (and that's
why i'm not getting mny period) will it
read as a false positive on a prenancy
test? Because I don't want to take one,
and it be a false positive and get all
freaked out over nothing. It would put
quite the damper on things. Thanks for
any help you can give me :)

When I went off depo it took 6 months to
get my af again but I have pcos so that
could have been part of it too, I had to
go on meds, but I was told it wears off
fast so I would start using another form
of bc asap, you probably havnt started
your period because of the shot, try not
to worry to much :) good luck
