Thread: Off of Depo, are these side effects, or preg symptoms?

I have been on Depo for nearly a year, and had my last one in June. I decided not to continue with this type of BC as in the last month i was feeling extremely depressed, so it has now been nearly 6 months since i had it put in my system. I know that it can take forever to get out of your system, but it seems strange that i now seem to be getting "side effects" (apart from the depression i had no other problems).

For the past month or so i have been feeling sick, tired, peeing all the time, i have put on weight around my stomach, but have not been overeating...

I a wondering if i could be pregnant. I know that it is very unlikely, but there are plenty of people on forums who have fallen preg while on depo. I was wondering what you all make of this!

Thanks!

Hey, I had a simular situation and was wondering if they were side effects or not. I have done 3 preg tests in the last month and are all negative. Feel kinda foolish going to the doctor incase they really are negative. I have had false positives before so I dont put to much faith in the home tests.
