My partner and I were last sexually active
almost 3 months ago. She has not had her
period in 3 months. She just got back
from basic training in the military.
Before she left, she was on the depo
provera shot....That is why I am having
doubts that she may be pregnant. I have
also considered that a side-effect of the
shot may be causing her to stop having
periods.
She gained 30 pounds while she was gone,
but almost 3 months of exercise in the
military would cause quite a bit of muscle
gain I would guess. I'm thinking that's
why she has the added weight.
Upon returning home, she is two sizes
smaller. She went from a size 4 to a
size 2. Her stomach is also very toned
and more flat from her workouts in the
military.
Is there still a possiblity that she may
be pregnant or would she be showing by
now? The signs so far don't seem to
match for me, such as the flatter stomach
and losing 2 sizes, but the weight gain
and lack of periods is bothering me.
Thanks for any advice and help you all can
give.
If you think she might be pregnant, get
her to take a pregnancy test. As she's
missed 3 periods it would give a definite
result either way. I don't know much
about the depo shot, but I heard it does
mess up your body and make you miss
periods.. So I doubt she's pregnant.
As for starting to show, I only really
started showing a couple of weeks ago and
i'm now 23 weeks pregnant. The more toned
your stomach is, the less your muscles can
stretch during pregnancy so you don't show
til later.

Most people do not get their period on
depo. Also with all the excersice she
has been doing it can stop her periods.
I don't think she's pregnant but I think
it's a side effect from strenuous
activities and the depo.

Okay, thanks for the great information.
I'll keep my hopes up that she is not
pregnant. I realize now that I did
something wrong, and don't plan to become
sexually active again any time soon. I'm
just not financially stable enough to
support a child, much less myself.
If she does happen to be, I guess i'll
stick it out and hope for the best...Since
I think the child should have a fair shot
at life.
Her and I don't get along too well, so I
also wouldn't want to see a custody battle
someday in the future. Hopefully I can
learn from this experience and hope that
she is not.
Thanks again for any help. I will return
here if I have more questions in the
coming weeks and months.
