Hi... The contraceptive medication which contain progesterone (the same hormone that is responsible for the symptoms that occur during pregnacy) may be cause for your symptoms.. I mean, your symptoms could be the side effects of the depo provera and not necessarily pregnancy.. If your symptoms are severe consult with your gynaecologist...

hello,
to confirm take a pregnancy test again and get a ultrasound done. If the symptoms worsen get complete blood count done. Also look out as the medicine you are takin can cause a few of these symptoms. Hence you can go in for barrier method instead. Eat well. Avoid oily food. Do regular exercise as the bubbkes can be due to increased acid in the stomach.. I hope i have answered your query. Take care
