Being On Depo Shot Experiencing Vomiting & Vaginal Bleeding
Feeling like throwing up and vagival bleeding. I shouldn't be on my period. I stopped bleeding for awhile then started again my boyfriend and I had sex a lot of times last weekend and I'm on depo shot. I was just wondering Ud there's a chance I could have been pregnant and list the baby

Hello ma'am and welcome.
The depo shot itself can result in a hormonal imbalance which can result in symptoms that mimic pregnancy. So many women on the depo shot do frequently suspect pregnancy, but this is not the case. I would either way recommend a home pregnancy test to be conducted 2 weeks from now to rule out/confirm pregnancy; once this is done we can suspect a hormonal cause.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
