i am currently on the depo-provera shot.
i had my second shot in august.
ive has sex a few times since then
without a condom,
but everytime that has happened, i've
also used the VCF foam. but for the
past four days, i have woken up sick
to my stomach, but it goes away after
i eat. but yesterday it was accompanied
by neck pain and a headache, and didint
reside, but got worse. after i threw up
i felt better and everything went away.
but today, i got dizzy, and felt really weak.
and everytime i move my head to the side,
i get sick to my stomache.

help?

Hrm, neck pain is not indicative of pregnancy. Sounds like it might be something else.

But, as with every time you may be concerned about pregnancy, please test to be sure. I doubt very much you are pregnant ~ but it will make you feel better to know.

Good luck!

You are doing a great job using foam and depo. I'd also recommend condoms.

yes, we usually do.
but we dont have any
right now, and havent been
able to get any yet.

but i really hope
that im not pregnant.
we're trying to be responsible
and use some type of protection.
i know that abstinence is the
only way to be 100%. but...
you know. hahaha.

thank you for the help. <3

Im on the depo shot too and everyones says you cant get pregnant. Thats a lie because my friend was on it and she got pregnant with twins so its always a possibility you could be pregnant.

You should test to be sure.
You can write me and we can talk about it.
