So I've been lurking the past couple days, and thought I might as well jump out there and try and ease some fears of mine. I've been on the depo for a year and five months and just went off of it in January. May 23rd was the first day of my first AF since being on the depo shot. On June 6th, my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex. I wasn't thinking anything of it until I started feeling different, more tired and emotional and slight nausea here and there. I then decided to do some research online. Well, I found out that I was ovulating between June 3rd and June 8th. I haven't been TTC or anything, but my boyfriend and I have discussed the possibilities before. Another thing that makes me wonder is the fact that after my birth mother went off of the depo, she told me she became pregnant with my youngest sister before her AF could even come to start her on regular BC. Basically, the concern I'm having is knowing when I'm supposed to get my next AF because I haven't had one in so long, so not quite sure how to track it, and also when should I test. I did the little signature thing and it says 2 days and I had thought I was supposed to test in a week or so! I figured I'd ask the experts. Maybe you can tell me the days I'm expected to have AF. xD Thanks for any help ladies.

Most women have around a 28 day cycle, average is ovulation around day 12-14, then AF comes 14 days after that.

Yes, the nausea has become daily and I noticed cramping but just thought it might be the after effects of AF. I was also in a minor car accident recently so I thought it might have been from that. I haven't had any bleeding or anything. My nipples have also changed in color slightly, and I could notice the veins a lot more. There's a good chance I am pregnant, but then again it could be just PMS as well. My boyfriend and I have been talking about it a lot and he's pretty sure that I am pregnant, but we're waiting to see if I get AF this weekend. If not, then I'm going to test. I'm afraid to do it early, and actually am afraid to do it in general. xD Anyway, according to my ovulation calendar, I am supposed to get AF on Saturday.

As for the shot in January, that's when I was supposed to take it. The last time I had taken it was in October. Would you recommend any Early Pregnancy tests in particular?
