Ive been on the depo birthcontrol shot for 18 months but in sept i forgot to go get it and ended up getting it a month late. i havent had a period since i started the shot so that is pretty unreliable way to tell. me and my b/f had sex numerous times in that month period span(everytime he pulled out before he came, but i know thats not 100%effective)i have all the symptoms of pregnancy except for a pos preg test. ive taken 3 or 4 hpt and all were neg. i have the nausia, irritability, frequent urination, weight gain, increased appetite, cravings, swelling, tender breasts, fatigue. plz help. i dont have med insurance so i dont really wanna go to the dr unless i know for sure i am.

You should probably ask a doctor about it, but most likely...your depro shot just carried over a little. The shot can give you pregnancy symptoms to a point....BUT...if you're pregnant AND had the shot again, you need to see the doctor because you don't know how it will affect a baby. Really though...If you were pregnant from September...those over the counter tests would have told you by now, especially if you've taken one recently.

You can only get an abortion if you are less than 21 weeks pregnant, or 24, around there. And no, you do not need the fathers consent. There are different options to chose from. It could be as simple as taking a pill, depending on how far along you are. I got pregnant when I was 16. I'm 21 now so trust me, I know how scary it is. I was going to get an abortion but changed my mind. I now have a beautiful 4 year old daughter. Telling your parents is the hardest part. And the decision whether to keep your baby or not lies solely with you. Do not let anyone try to make that decision for you. Babies require a lot of love and attention. If you don't think you're capable of giving that to your baby, then it would probably be best to consider abortion or adoption. And don't let all these pro-lifers tell you abortion is murder and that it's wrong or whatever. As a woman, you have a right to not be pregnant if that's what you choose. Good luck.

There is probably a BIG chance you are pregnant. I know you keep getting neg. preg. test but they are not 100% accurate. I kind of had a similar situation. I missed my period and took the preg. test for 2 months. They were always neg. I finally went to the Dr. and they also did a urine test that came out neg. They sent me to test that took another month. All this time I thought I wasn't preg. 2days later after my test, I had a miscarriage. I found out I was 3 months preg. and never knew. Dr recommends to take blood test from now on instead of the home preg. test. It is probably hard for you to go to the Dr right now, but it is best if you do to find the real answer. You don't want to end up regretting it.

Hard to tell based on the fact that the depo shot shortens the periods. You could just wait another couple weeks and try the test again. Either that or just go to the clinic, and they'll do a urine/blood test for free.

you probably should have told your dr this before you got the shot. Anyways to answer your question, yes you could be pregnant but its doubtful. It is rare for the hpt to be wrong but if you want a more definite answer a blood test is the way to go. All your symptoms could be your body reacting to the shot.

I had all those symptoms when I was on DePo several years ago and could have sworn I was pregnant even though I didn't even have sex that month... lol. The pregnacy tests would still work even if you are on Depo shots.

Its probally just you stressin about pregnancy and havings signs as a result of thinking about it too much. I don't think you are pregnant. Just get a test over the counter they are cheap and fast.

you are probably fine. your hormones probably got out of wack when you missed your shot. don't miss another shot and if you do use condoms. also take another test before you get your next shot.
