could i be pregnant?

Question

I got the depo shot on April 14th and had sex the next day. I had to go back to my doctor for something and he told me that the shot doesnt start working for close to a week. and we didn't use a condom. I am suppose to go get my next shot next month and for a few reasons we decided im not going to. but i have been throwing up throughout the morning and afternoon everyday and have been feeling really tired and my breasts have been hurting and i've been having headaches a lot....could i be pregnant and how can i find out? I cannot take a athome preg. test because it goes by HCG level and the shot lowers it. I was preg. before and had an ectopic preg. i am engaged and ready to have a baby and so is my fiance. so if u know anything about this please let me know and if im not preg.....what is the best way of getting preg.??

Thanks for all your help....

I didn't have a choice to get the depo shot because I was so drugged up from surgery and all that I didn't know what was happening. But I really do want this baby whether anyone in my family wants me to or not. My fiance and his family will support me on it so I dont exactly care what my family thinks. Because their only reason is because they want me to go to college and they think I wont succeed if I have a baby. (which is BS)

Answer 1

might b if you have not had a period better see doctor find out 4 sure

Answer 2

From experience I would say yes there is a chance that you are pregnant. I was on the depo shot for a year, and never had a period. I did not know that I was pregnant until I started throwing up one morning and went to the doctor because I thought I had the flu. So I suggest that you go to the doctor as soon as possible to find out. Don't even think about getting the shot until you are sure. And congratulations if you are.

i'm not sure i understand... if u want to get pregnant, why did u get the depo shot? anywayz, be careful if u get the shot cuz it'll mess with ur hormones. u gotta wait a couple months after ur last shot before u try to get pregnant or there's a real high chance of miscarriage.
there are ovulation kits that u can buy to tell u when u're ovulating, or u can take ur temperature every morning and keep a record... on the days when ur temp runs slightly higher, those are the days when u're ovulating and it's most likely u could become pregnant. this method works for becoming pregnant or not becoming pregnant, but nothing is 100% of course.
i would say see ur doctor and get a test done to be sure whether u are already pregnant or not.

Pregnancy starts when a male’s sperm fertilizes a female’s ovum,and the fertilized ovum implants in the lining of the uterus.Because pregnancy changes a woman’s normal hormone patterns, one of the first signs of pregnancy is a missed menstrual period .Other symptoms include breast tenderness and swelling, fatigue, nausea or sensitivity to smells, increased frequency of urination, mood swings, and weight gain. Some women also experience cravings for unusual substances such as ice, clay, or cornstarch; this condition, called pica, can indicate a dietary deficiency in iron or other nutrients. By the 12th week of pregnancy many of these symptoms have subsided, but others appear. For example, a woman’s breasts usually increase in size, and her nipples darken. The most obvious symptom is weight gain; most physicians now recommend a gain of about 9 to 12 kg (about 22 to 26 lb) by the end of pregnancy.

The first few months of pregnancy are the most critical for the developing infant, because during this period the infant’s brain, arms, legs, and internal organs are formed. For this reason a pregnant woman should be especially careful about taking any kind of medication except on the advice of a physician who knows that she is pregnant. X rays should also be avoided, and pregnant women should avoid smoking and alcohol consumption.

Answer 5

Every woman is different and some women experience the hormonal effect much stronger than others. I didn't have symptoms that bad. I remember (around 24 weeks or so) I just felt emotional about everything! I was crying at work, crying at home and sometimes I didn't even know why I was crying. I needed my hubby the most during this time. Having him hold me made me feel so much better. It did pass after about a week or so and I haven't experienced anything like that since (btw, I'm 35w5d). I hope I won't end up like that before the baby arrives.

Answer 6

I took the depo shot b4 I HATED IT. The hormones in the shot ALONE can make you feel pregnant sickness headache exc. It is ALWAYS posible to get pregnant even on birth control. I would take a home test even if it's - call your doctor to tell wm whats going on. The shot is screwed up I would advise you to STOP IT. I gained 60 pounds in 9 months on it then after stoping had to take fertility meds to get pregnant for 4 years! Got pregnant and miscarried. Now 7 years after my last shot I got pregnant on my own. I do have a friend who got pregnant on depo thou.

Answer 7

more than likely, you are pregnant sweety. In between getting your shots, or when you are off birth control, your fertility levels are through the roof. Also, I recommend that you go the doctor and get a pregnancy test, but i am sure u are because you are describing a lof of the symptoms of pregnancy. Good night and good luck.

Answer 8

do what ever you feel is right motherhood is a wonderful thing cause you sound like your preg so follow your heart and your family will chage there minds once the see themselves with a new member to the family especially cause babies are soooo cute and bring the out best in people

Answer 9

You could be, make and appointment with your Doctor to have a blood test done. The best way to get prego is to have lots of unprotected sex, preferably 7-10 days after your period, that is when you ovulate....

Good luck! and remember to have fun!

Answer 10

Better go back and ask the details from you doctor so you will have an accurate explanation on how this procedure works so there will be no confusion next time. Good luck..

Answer 11

Honey, it's a good chance that you are. I was 19 and had the same signs only my breast hurt to the touch and that's what drove me to go see the doctor and I was 5 weeks.
