Depo-Provera (Birth Control Shot)
Hi mommies, is there anyone here using depo? I had a shot last May 29, 2015 but until now i dont have my menstruation and i have a signs of being pregnant like headache, weight gain, absence of periods, and back ache I'm afraid that i'm pregnant coz i just had my CS last december. Os there a possibility that you will get pregnant while on your depo? Anyone please help me by giving advice or sharing knowledge.

I have heard of people getting pregnant on depo. You'd be best off to have a pregnancy test and see a dr.

Re: Depo-Provera (Birth Control Shot)
I was on Depo for about 4 years and never had a single period
Re: Depo-Provera (Birth Control Shot)
I've been on it for over a year and had a period every 3 months for the first couple of times I haven't had one since so probably 6-9 months I've had pregnancy symptoms before too but no baby

Thanks guys for replying it was a big relief to me. I ask my friends who is working on the hospital and said the same :) no periods.
Re: Depo-Provera (Birth Control Shot)
Yep, given a shot of depo, no period for three months however I developed pregnancy symptoms. Did a test and found out I fell pregnant just after having the shot. I was 16 weeks along when I found out :o

After a very hard pregnancy I had a beautiful baby boy, by myself, as the dad didn't acknowledge him. All good now though, my boy is 3, healthy and his dad is a part of our lives. Seems like I was one of the unlucky few to ovulate after having the shot.
Re: Depo-Provera (Birth Control Shot)
Thats good to hear. Omg what should i do im really scared to consult a doctor. Bec i just gave birth via CS months ago i heard that it needs to be 1 year gap
Re: Depo-Provera (Birth Control Shot)
It's ok to have pregnancies close together, just not ideal. Take a test and go from there. You may not be pregnant, but it's better to know earlier rather than later
Re: Depo-Provera (Birth Control Shot)
Okay thanks a lot! It was really a big help. I'll take a test tomorrow.
Re: Depo-Provera (Birth Control Shot)
Best of luck, let us know how you go
Re: Depo-Provera (Birth Control Shot)
Yes sure i'll let you know. (scared)

Hi :) no need to take a test i had my period yesterday. It sucks coz i still have my dysmenorrhea :(
Re: Depo-Provera (Birth Control Shot)
Well yay for AF but bugger for dysmenorrhoea. Do you know what is causing it?
Re: Depo-Provera (Birth Control Shot)
Some people say if you are irregular (which i am) u'll have a tendency to have it . But when i read some articles it says the uterus contracts strongly it can press the blood vessels cutting off oxygen to the muscle of tissue. Pain results when part of a muscle briefly loses supply of oxygen.
