I recently got off my depo shit. I stopped taking it in December and finally got my period in December. I have been having unprotected sex. I missed my period and have been experiencing minor cramping, lots of gas, eating a lot, light headaches here and there, long naps during the day, difficulty getting comfortable at night to sleep, slightly sore nipples, I had light bleeding about 2 weeks ago, shortness of breath at some times as well. Could I be pregnant even though I just got off depo
Hi, It is unlikely to get pregnant during the first month after coming off the deposit as return to ovulation usually takes a couple of months at least. Your symptoms are not specific to pregnancy, they could be pre-menstrual as well. Yet, if you wish to exclude/confirm pregnancy, you can get blood test for pregnancy done as urine tests may not be helpful. You can get a trans-vaginal sonogram done after the pregnancy test and see a gynecologist for further management. Hope you find this information useful. Wish you good health.
