Whats the Chances?
Posted: 04-25-04 07:40am

All the time I have been on birth control I have never really been hungry and what not im having a period and all and a very long one at that. Here the past couple weeks I have been hungry like all the time and having cravings and all. My question is could I get pregnant or could I be pregnant and just assume im not because im still having myh period and all. I dont know whats. I got a little tummy(im chubby) and when im like laying down and run my hand over my lower stomach feels like a little pouch or sumfin could I be pregnant or could that mean that one of my ovaries are swelled or somthing? And how long does it normally take to get a pouch (start showing if your pregnant?)

I am on the same birth control that you are (depo) and I have been feeling and wondering the same thing you have been wondering. Does anyone know why we are feeling this way? Is it just the hormones or what?

I am not nor have I ever been on depo. However, a lot of the time birth control makes your body believe that it is pregnant and does give you pregnancy symptoms. Also, it is possible to get pregnant on depo. My best friend conceived both her children on depo.

If your having a long heavy period, your most likely not pregnant. Light periods or spotting can occur after fertilization.
If you think you might be, you have to go see your doctor because a heavy period and pregnancy can mean something is wrong.

I am on depo and have been more hungry than normal.. I've heard that lots of people gain weight on depo.. Maybe it's just a side effect. I know i'm not pregnant but I get the cravings and "bloated" feeling like my stomach is sticking out farther than it used to.
