Q: Depo provera pregnancy symptoms ?

i have been having several symptoms of pregnancy lately, however Im beginning to get confused.. I just recently stopped take depo provera [3 weeks ago-march 14] and have had unprotected sex several times with my husband, but i was on the shot for almost a year. i heard that its difficult to get pregnant once getting off depo for that long, however my breast have become dramatically larger and my nipples have become way darker and my veins are quite visible too now especially around my nipples. at first I thought it was a hormone change from getting off depo, but I have been extremely tired and nauseated these last few days, and its throwing my body off blsnce a bit. I get sudden headaches that last only a couple minutes and my appetite has gone way down [I only eat once a day and not very much now] ive taken a pregnancy test but it came out negative. is it too early? it was about 3 weeks ago, and would it be likely if i got off depo 3 weeks ago to become pregnant so quickly?

Wait a few days/week and take another test.

Birth control can cause pregnancy symptoms. However, you are saying that technically you are now off of the shot so there is definitely a chance of pregnancy. I agree with ingi; you should wait a few days and take another test.

no, my last shot was dec. 14, but i was due for my next shot on march 14, and decided not to take it [ i cant STAND the side effects of depo!] Iam just wondering if pregnancy is probable at this point, the shot does t wear off that quickly, does it? oh, and also my veins are becoming darker all over my body, is that a bad thing? I noticed it today, my veins in my arms and legs are darker all over

Weird Symptoms after deprovera

I am due for my next shot right now but for the past week, i have felt very pregnant. Took a preg test yesterday, its negative. I had a breast augmentation after my second child 2yrs ago and my breasts hurt sooooo bad, super heavy. I have had neausea,feeling very weak,headaches, weird on and off periods. I dont plan on getting back on the shot since I want to have a third baby. Ive been reading and it sounds like its very normal to have all these symptoms. Im just so damn miserable...i hope these symptoms go away soon.
