Can Pink Bleeding And Breast Tenderness Represent Pregnancy Associated Symptoms?

Hi, I've been on depo consistently for 4 Years now.
My last injection was Oct.1 I was due Dec.17-Dec.31for a follow up but I missed it...
And I've been having unprotected sex with my boyfriend since November.
I used the bathroom yesterday, and it was light pink blood on the tissue.. and my breast have been tender the past 2weeks. Could I be pregnant?

Hi It is just possible that you are pregnant if you did not take your next inj. in time. But these can also be the side effects of depo inj.Breast tenderness is quite common and there is usually amenorrhoea (no periods) after the use of this inj.and it takes some time in conceiving after discontinuing it.
This inj. should not be used for more than 2 years continuously for birth control method.So, I will advise you to get a scan done to rule out pregnancy and then use some other method of contraception. Probably you might not be pregnant.
Thanks.
