What Causes Delay In Menstruation, Sore Breasts After A Delaying Depo Shot?

Posted on Tue, 21 Apr 2015

Question: Hi, I have been on repo for 2 years. I have not had a period footer a year. I was 3 weeks late for my last shot. I had it done last week and did no have a pregnancy test before. I also went snowboarding last week and did some lifting at work. The sides of my breasts have been sore and tender for the last 2-3 days. I work in a remote area and I am unåble to get a pregnancy test for 2 weeks. I am wondering if it is likely or possible that I am pregnant since I have not had a period in so long or it is more likely that I strained a muscle

Brief Answer:
You have strained a muscle

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I understand your concerns about possibility of pregnancy.

This pain alone does not describe it to be pregnancy and it is not possible to get pregnant so soon after coming off depot as time is needed to resume periods.

This pain is likely due to muscle pull and not pregnancy.

Let me know if you need any more clarifications.

Regards
Dr. Soumya
