Had Intercourse After Using Depo. Having Tingling And Itchy Stomach, Nipples Tired And Always Hungry. Can I Be Pregnant?
I was due for my third depo shot but decided to stop it a month later I had intercourse and about maybe 3 or more days(don't remember) I had one spotting and ever since then I've been having symptom after symptom it's been about almost 3 months now and I'm still feeling symptoms. Like there's a ball in my lower stomach more tired nipples are tingly getting bigger stomach is itchy stomach is always hard now always hungry . Could I be pregnant? I did bleed for most of the time I was on depo

Hello ma'am and welcome.
The depo shot should have provided you with effective prevention from pregnancy, and so although pregnancy is unlikely it is still best to rule it out. Once pregnancy has been ruled out, the cause for your symptoms would be assumed to be due to the depo shot itself which may have caused a hormonal imbalance, once taken.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
