If you are on DEPO and don't have a period and think you may be pregnant, how long to wait to take a test?

Question

Is three weeks long enough to wait to take a test? 23-24 days?

Answer 1

if your on depo you cant be pregnant its impossible!

Answer 2

When was the last time you had your period? Since we usually don't ovulate until 14 days after the first day of our period, and implantation doesnt occur until a week after that.. I would say wait a full 4 weeks to do your first test
But if you have plan to drink alcohol or things like that.. take a test as soon as possible, you can't be too cautious.
Depo screws up your cycle so maybe you're just feeling bloated and cranky, thats a symptom of what DEPO does..
I would say that 3 weeks isn't long enough to take a test but you could try it?

And no, DEPO isn't 100% fool proof, no contraceptive is 100% going to prevent pregnancy. So it's possible -- but unlikely that you are pregnant.

Answer 3

Even if you don't have periods you should still keep track of when you would if you weren't on Depo. I don't know your cycle history so you need to see your doctor. The best way to go is to have a blood test done.
Please don't listen to the people who say you can't get pregnant on Depo. I was on it for 5 years STRAIGHT with no periods and I got pregnant. It IS possible.

Answer 4

i am on depo (the injection) i would probably wait another two weeks, just to be sure, as i have no periods and i don't get pregnant from it, although i do get the odd stomach ache but nothing serious.

Answer 5

The depo shot makes you loose your periods.

Answer 6

IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO GET PREGNANT ON THE DEPO.................. MY 6 YEAR OLD IS MY PROOF. Its very possible. Id test as soon as you think you are and retest in 2 weeks , but it might not show up right away.
