Can you get pregnant on the depo?
| Fri, 11-03-2006 - 2:51pm |
I know there is no method of birth control that is 100% effective, other than abstinince, but I am on the depo provera shot and I am beginning to think I am pregnant. I have gained over 20 lbs in just 4 months!! The weight has all been gained within the past 2 months, but I have been on it for four. All my weight has been gained in my lower belly, below my belly button, but above my pelvic bone. I feel a "bubble" in my lower tummy. Just a motionless lump, seems to be getting bigger every day. When I was pregnant the first time, I had morning sickness immediately. I have none yet. What my real question is, I was due for my depo on Sept. 19. I had sex with my husband on Sept. 17. Now, Nov. 3rd, I think I am pregnant. Does the shot wear thin towards the end? I'm afraid I got pregnant two days before I got my new shot. Or, could this be just another unfortunate side effect of the shot? I was pregnant with twins this time three years ago, so I am afraid of being pregnant again. Iam afraid it will be twins again!!

Hi twinsrfunnie, welcome!
