I was on the depo for 6 years. I finally got off of it a year ago. It took about 5 months to get a regular period (usually around the 14th) but I am now almost 2 months late. I have taken several home pregnancy tests which all came back with a negative, is there a possibility I could be pregnant? Or is my body still trying to get normal again? Please help...

Early Pregnancy Signs and Symptoms Answer A22677
Hi,
Welcome to ehealthforum,
Your normal fertility can return back within few months of stopping with birth control use. Having regular periods are suggestive of periodic and regular ovulation. Chances of pregnancy cannot be ruled out. Urine pregnancy tests can show you false negative results during early pregnancy due to less concentration of pregnancy hormone (HCG) in urine and hence cannot be relied upon for accuracy. If you suspect to be pregnant, visit your doctor/gynecologist for a thorough examination (to confirm pregnancy related changes/signs in body) and blood/serum HCG level test (to confirm/rule out pregnancy accurately).
Take care.
