FIrst and foremost I took one and only
Depo shot back in OCtober 2006...October
11th..the first day of my period.It was a
mess.I bled for 2 months.Shot was due
January...I spotted on the 6th and 7th of
January around the time my shot was
due.Went to the doc's..they prescribed
birth control pills.I didn't take them
because a week later...my period came back
and it was regular...as a matter of
fact..it came back on the 10th of
February.This month..I cramped around that
time..and I didnt see anything.Body
temperature is a little up.Left breast
burning a little bit.Talked to a
pharmactst and she told me that after a
normal period..your body usually bounces
back to regular or 28-31 days..I talked
to a nurse and she said that after a
period there isnt enough Depo left to
protect against pregnancy.i want to be
pregnant and according to them I'm 10 days
late..so I was wondering is this just
wishful thinking or could I possibly be
pregnant again........

We can't tell you anything. If you had
unprotected sex, yes you could be
pregnant. Take a test. This would be
better in the Am I Pregnant? forum.

The nurse is correct, after three months
you are no longer fully protected agianst
pregnancy. So it is possible that you are
pregnant. However, for them to tell you
that you are expected to be back on a
regular cycle after having only one period
is being a little...ambitious. Depo
can/will mess with your cycle for up to 18
months after you discontinue use.
Unfortunately, it is up to the individual.
Many women become pregnant immediately,
some take longer. I would suggest that you
take a pregnancy test to determine if you
are infact pregnant. (depo will have no
effect on a pregnancy test) If you are not
pregnant, you should start taking the
birth control that was prescribed to you.
I understand that you are ttc. If you
begin taking the pill, you should be able
to discontinue use after two to three
months and have a much better chance of
ovulating regularly, which will make ttc
much easier.
