Depo And Pregnancy

Ok, so I am on depo and am beginning to
wonder if I might be pregnant. My
husband and I only rely on the shot. My
breasts are tneder some of the time. I
feel like I have gained some wieght. I
have strong cravings all the time. I
have become more moody. All this is
almost the opposite of how the shot
usually effects me. Just wondering
should I get a test?

I no nothing about depo but it sounds like
it could be symptoms from the depo.
However I don't know. Is your period
late? If you are really concerned then
perhaps do a test to ease your mind.

You can test for pregnancy if you think
you might be. But all these sound like
side effects from the depo shot.
If you test, at least you will know ;)
good luck.

Mmmm depo is like taking a semi permanent
bcp...It takes most women once stopping
the shot upto 18 months to concieve. I
doubt your pregnant especially on depo.
Sounds like side affect from that!

My cousin gotten pregnant on the depo.
Which is really weird cuz I always heard
the depo is better then the pills. But
nothing is 100% tho. So its possible I
guess. Take a test to ease your mind.

Right. And my husband's best friend's
wife conveniently got pregnant on
the depo shot too. Hers though, was about
as likely as monkeys flying out of my
b*tt. She didn't get her shot when she
should have and was fortunate enough to
get pregnant right away. She still lied
to the father and told him 'i don't know
what happened, I got pregnant on the
shot'. Which wasn't true.
I think you'll find that is what happens
more often than not when women say they
got pregnant on birth control. I'm not
saying it doesn't happen, so don't start
slamming on me. I'm just saying, it isn't
as common as everyone would like to
believe.
(alexa, I believe your cousin got
pregnant. The above rant was not directed
at your statement ;)

yes I agree with you. If you miss 4
pills and tell me you got pregnant on the
pill , thats just ridiculous! Same
thing with the shot and using condoms and
so forth. If you are taking it as
prescribed and start to play around then
you cant be considered on any form on
contraceptive. Keep in mind the pill
itself is 99% effective when taken
properly .....Meaning ,same time ,
everyday without the use of anitbiotics
and whatever esle interferes with it.And
condoms dont tell me "he put it in and
then we realized it and we put a condom
on!!!"...Aghhhh so aggrevating!

Sounds like the wonderfukl side effects of
the depo shot..... I've had the same
problems with it. But just in case take
a pregnancey test to be sure. The depo
can cause all kinds of side effects. For
the first month or so, my breast were so
tender they hurt.

with your system royally...
It made me extremely irritable, health
forum, nauseated, lost abit of weight,

Take into consideration b/c tricks your
body into think its preggo so its not
unnormal to hear/feel like your preggo on

I was watching "life in the er" and there
was this rather large lady that was having
abdominal/back pain that couldn't be
releaved by motrin and she waited in the
er for like 5 hours. Next thing at the
end of the show they showed the doctors
and staff running out there and putting
her on a cot and she was screaming about
something and they cut off her pants and
out came a baby. The lady had been on
the depo shot for 2 years, so she said,
and she didnt' know/think that she was
preggers but she had a healthy baby girl.
She was crying but I dont' think it was
due to happiness I think that it was due
to the fact that she already had three
grown kids, like above 10 or something
like that and she didnt'know what she was
going to do because she wasn't at all
ready.
It scared the pants off of me. Lol

I've heard that when women are unaware of
pregnancy and they start to feel kicking,
they believe it's gas pain. Someone told
me a story of their superior's wife who
was complaining of severe abdominal pain.
When she went to the hospital, she found
out she was five months pregnant...And in
labor. She had absolutely no idea she was
pregnant. So much for the maternal bond
between mothers-to-be and their unborn
children.

Lol how can you not know man!!! No kicks
nothing? Gessh! I saw some show on
discovery about women delivering and one
lady was having contractions all day and
didnt think that she should go to hospital
because her job was more important .
Anyways she ended up in the car with her
husband late at night and had the baby
with her pants on!!!!!

Had a baby with her pants on! Ouch!!
Again, sadly, I know someone who didn't
find out she was pregnant until she was 6
months pregnant. My best friend! She had
lost a ton of weight and had this great
boyfriend she didn't think was so great.
Big dummy! They broke up and she put some
weight on. Thought nothing of it. She
was a big, big girl anyway.
She started feeling 'off' and got herself
in an anxiety attack and went to the
hospital where they ran a bunch of tests
on her and gave her an ultrasound. It was
then they found she was pregnant - 6
months gone already! She was so
embarrassed and felt like such an fool.
She never bonded with that boy and the
father that she'd broken up with didn't
even believe her until the baby was
born.
It can happen, I just think with weird
periods and strange weight fluctuations,
you can attribute all the pregnancy
symptoms to something else, you know?

With her pants on???? How did the baby

I guess I wouldnt' want her for my mother
because she wouldn't be there for me
because work would be more improtant.

One of my good friend's friend called her
one day while pregnant and they were
chilling out and she complained of feeling
like heving to take a poo, so she went to
the bathroom and started screaming for
ashley to come (my friend). Ash went in
the bathroom and saw her godson's head
sticking out of her friend!! He was born
in the bathtub!! Lol
