Light nausea on Depo

Just wondering if anyone else out there can commiserate with me on this! For the past month or so, I believe soon after I got my last shot, I`ve been having a kind of mild nausea that comes and goes throughout the day. It`s not bad enough to make me vomit and it`s not usually any worse after eating or anything, merely enough to be annoying, like when I wake up or just popping up at random times throughout the day. I`ve also developed some breast pains that come and go but haven`t bothered me today.

I was worried about a pregnancy, since I`ve never had nausea or breast symptoms before with Depo. I got so worked up that I took a pregnancy test about, oh, two weekends ago, I suppose. I figured that if I had gotten pregnant, it would`ve been in the two weeks prior to my last shot when most Depo pregnancies occur, when the hormones may not be high enough to prevent ovulation. So, I recieved my latest shot on October 11, which gave me somewhere from 34 to 24 days since possible fertilization, so I`m pretty sure that the test was accurate in telling me I`m not.

I`m still a little worried about pregnancy but after some red spotting (only enough to ruin one perfectly nice pair of panties, sigh!) and that pinkish/brownish CM with back pain and light cramping that I`m pretty sure would pass for a Depo period this week, I`m not so stressed over it, although it`s still persisting. Just wondering if anyone else has developed symptoms like this after being on it for nearly a year? I know that symptoms can show up at any time and such, it`s just so annoying!

I just can say that I`ll be happy when I switch to a method where I have my monthly again! :) At least I won`t be such a head case over a possible pregnancy!
