Pregnant, towards the end of Depo?

Hi

I had a depo provera injection 3 months ago, and my doctor told me that I would need another one on 31st March to maintain protection.

Anyway, dh and I decided not to have another injection because my sex drive plummeted while on it!

I had af about 2 weeks before the depo was due to end (middle of March), and now I just have terrible headaches and nausea and so we are both a bit suspicious of pregnancy!

Could it be, while still technically covered by the injection?

Thanks for any advice!

Gwen :pray:

Gwen, I was told when I had it that the length of time that you are effectively covered for would vary slightly between each woman - for some it will wear off quicker and others will be covered for longer, that's why it is really important to get it every 12 wks, but I was like you and had zero libido when I had it so I had no intention of getting it a second time, but it was a good 6mths before I could say things were normal, so I have no idea if it still would have been effective or not, we used condoms as I wasn't keen on taking the BCP when things were so screwy.

If you think it is possible that you could be pg, do a test, it wont hurt to be sure.

Thanks for the reply.
I just took a test, and i have a v.v.v.faint BFP.
I am going to take a digital pregnancy test to be sure.

Wow Gwen, how do you feel about that?

I could see the line at the top, but then fading towards the bottom. I can see the BFP if I hold the test to the light, but is that true even if the test is a BFN?

I will be really happy if it IS a BFP, because i've had a lot of chemo over the past 16 months, so we will feel blessed - but very very busy with 3 children under 4!

Oh Gwen!! How exciting for you :) I bet the girls would love a new baby in the house.

How are you going? All better now I hope?

Oh Gwen, I had no idea you were ill hun. Fingers crossed then that you are having another wee babe! (and yes you will be busy with 3 under 4 LOL - but trust me - its all good!)

I'm a bit better now thanks, and my doctor said 'sooner rather than later' if I wanted another baby, so I was just going to see what happens.

I haven't done another HPT, but i've had blood work done so will wait and see!

Sarah, you look FAB - i'm so excited for you!!!

I don't know how you do it Trillian, my two already keep me soooo busy it's unbelievable!! lol x

Hi! I had my test results back at it was a BFN, and then af arrived!

All good though... people keep asking me if i'm pg though! I say no no, but then think aargh i need to lose some weight! We are ttc again now, and we're going to see how things go. A psychic told me that we would have a baby boy v.v.soon, so we'll see.

Aww bummer Gwen. Good luck though, sounds like we might see you anouncing some good news next month ;)

Aww Gwen. Fingers crossed you do get your BFP (and your little boy ;) ) soon :)
