Questioni'm 31 years old and have been on depo provera since 5/98, and i have a 6 year old son. my last injection was due 12/17, i didn't get it because we want another child. now i'm bloated and sick to my stomach, is too soon to do a pregnancy test?
AnswerIf you started to have regular periods after you stopped the injection (after September), you may have ovulated and conceived. However, if you have not had a normal period, it is doubtful that you have conceived. If you have symptoms, it can't hurt to take a pregnancy test, at this time. If you were due for your shot in December, that means that you had your last shot in September, and, by now, if you were pregnant, a pregnancy test would be accurate.
