Is there a possibility I'm Pregnant?? Help!

Question

I have gotten the Depo shot 3 times. I first got it last summer August 14th 2015 I then was late on getting my next shot, I was like months late! So I got it again this year my 2nd time say March 14th 2016. Then I was due to get my shot in MAY but I missed it I was two months late on getting the shot! I finally got if the end of July. The whole two months I didn't get my period although I felt Pms symptoms as to cramps and my boobs hurt and Etc. I haven't had my period since March 5th. I Didn't have any intercourse at all since last summer too. So I got the shot the end of July 28th then say Augest 2nd and 3rd and so on had unprotected sex. Because I just had got the shot and felt protected but then I saw you have to use protection for the first 1-2 weeks of sex even months depends on your body because the shots not fully in your system yet & I took it not on the first 5 days of my menstrual cycle. I feel normal but just more cranky lately and bloated a little but I can't be pregnant I just got the shot and Have not had my period. Is it possible I could be pregnant??

Answer

I would test just to be safe. I was on the Depo shot for almost a year, I decided to end it in March. However, since I ended it (5 months ago) I've only had one period and a bunch of other symptoms. I think it's just my body going back to normal. So maybe every time you skip the shot, your body is trying to regulate again. Your doctors should have been testing you every time you went to get the shot because you were late getting it. But I can tell you from experience, my body is all kinds of messed up from the shot, my period doesn't even come at all and I always think I'm pregnant too even if I don't have sex 😂
 It doesn't hurt to get a pregnancy test just for some peace of mind!

Answer

If your late on your shot you can get pregnant. If your on time EVERYTIME you will not be. Missing it by a day will affect it ability

Update !! Did you test?  
I was on the shot about 7 years ago coz I was in a relationship and I was forgetful with my pill.. So I decided to get the shot. I missed it once because I just started a job and I felt like I couldn't ask for time off already, I really didn't want children as being so young but my ex did and he would I told him I wasn't ready and he didn't care so well he kept trying to the point I didn't Consent.. I did end up pregant but I lost it... I learned then from docs if you don't  have it regular it doesn't respond to it as quick and i was also told even though they are supposed to last 6 months it can take up to a year for your body to understand what it needs to do due to mg of the depo as well.. But please test and tell us !! Xx

My sister in law was pregnant while she was on the depot shot. She didn't know til she went back to get it again. Idk what syspthms she was having though.

Answer

Why even bother getting the shot if you're not gonna get it the way you're supposed to. It's not gonna be very effective you're just wasting time.
