Depo shot

I was on the depot shot. My last injection was due in August. I did not get it. Exactly 28 days later I got my period. 6 days long and everything like a normal period. But this month I am 6 days late for my period. I have taken 2 pregnancy test and they have both been negative. Does anybody know if maybe I could be pregnant or is my missing period just another freaky event courtesy of the depot shot!?!?!?!?!? I don't know if I should get a pregnancy blood test. Or just chalk it up to hormone mania!!!!!!!!!

Hi amy3lynn3, welcome!

My guess is that you’re still experiencing the effects of Depo. Test kits are pretty accurate after you are late so I think you're probably ok. You might want to talk with your doctor about your situation and get a blood pregnancy test if it would make you feel better. Let us know how you’re doing, ok?

Good luck,

      Jill

I totally agree! Girl...ever since i have been on BC my periods are pretty regular, but this month after being off it for the month (i am switching) I was almost 2 weeks late!!! I was sooo scared and I also took 2 tests to be sure and they both said negative. Eventually I got my period and some relief!

It's been two weeks.I still don't have my period. And I don't feel like investing the money in another test that will probably be negative. It's so frustrating!!!!!! I don't know what to think!!!!
