Should I Take Another Shot? Am I Pregnant? Posted: 10-26-05 12:08pm
Pls help. I recently took a bc injection
(for 2mths) after a normal period. My
first period after the injection came
normally (28th day) but was very light (i
have normal periods for 5 days). The
bleeding was on for 2 days (light) and
then had a brownish discharge for another
12 days.
My 2nd period is due soon (today/tomorrow)
but I have had breast tenderness for
about a week. My breast have felt heavy
and quite sore around the nipple. The
tenderness is reducing but still there.
This is new for me (the duration of the
tenderness. I usually have tenderness a
day or two before my periods and not so
painful/heavy).
I have also put on some weight (about 4kg)
since I took the injection.
I have recently taken to exercising and
not sure if the breast tenderness is due
to the exercise (not worn sports bra
during training).
I am due for another shot of the bc
injection and not sure if I want to ...Cos
of the weight gain, tenderness, light
period and discharge.
I have not seen my gp, waiting to see if
my period will come and what it will be
like this time

Why would you even consider taking a shot
if you may be pregnant???
That would be like an abortion

I was on the shot and my period completely
stopped for 7 months (side effect
depo-provera causes-if thats the one your
on). No need for alarm. In clinical
trials I think 2 out of thousands of women
got pregnant while on the shot and that
was with typical use. Chances of getting
pregnant on that shot are slim to none and
the chances of it causing later
infertility is too high to risk if you
want children. That shot isn't for
everyone. Wasn't for me anyway! Good
luck honey!
