depo shot screwed me over and im not sure if I am pregnant?
I had the depo shot at my 6 week checkup after my youngest son was born. After about 2 and a half months I started to bleed (guessing it was wearing off) I didnt like the way it made me feel so I didnt get it again. I bled for 2 months non stop (not enough for a tampon but more than a panty liner a day) and I stopped bleeding 4 weeks ago. Im not sure when I am supposed to start my period but I have been having many pregnancy symptoms. I have had coffee cravings and I dont drink coffee! I do now though, yum lol.
I also have been feeling nauseas thoughout the day and my nipples are sensitive. I have frequent headaches and I also have to urinate a lot more lately which is very strange for me (I usually go no more than 3 or 4 times a day and now its 7 or 8). My cervix is also long and thick (I have a shallow downstairs so when I am ... ya know... I can feel it. I have also been having alot of discharge that is kind of mucousy. Just wanted someones opinion on this. I have a 19 mth old and a 6 month old so its a little hectic and stress does get to me but this much? I have taken a pregnancy test (or 4) and they have came back negative so I'm wondering if its just too early or if my hormone may not be high enough level to know. Just want opinions thanks! Dont tell me to go to the doc bc I know I need to if I dont start my period
cant see my doc bc i dont have insurance and i dont have the money right now to pay for my doc

It can be hormones but I have been screwed by the depo twice. I had my 1st depo and gained so much weight I didn't get my follow up shot when my 3 mos. was over and got pregnant. the 2nd time I got it I hated the way I was gaining weight once again I didn't get the next shot and I did not have a period for 1year... when my period finally came on I bleed very light but for almost 4 or 5 mos. straight. since then I have been pregnant 3 times 1 was a chemical pregnancy, 1was a Natural miscarriage @ 10 wks. and now I am 12wks preg. and doing fine.

I hate the Depo shot. It made me bleed non stop for 7 months. It really does screw up your body so I wouldn't be surprised if what you are experiencing was down to that.

I don't understand why you won't see your doctor for a simple blood test. If those were pregnancy symptoms though you should have been able to see a positive at this point. We can't tell you when you may start your period so hang in there.
