Missed Depo Shot And Had Unprotected Sex Regularly. Can Spotting Be A Sign Of Pregnancy?

I've missed my depo shot for a little over 3 months now and me and my boyfriend have been having unprotected sex for the whole 3 months. We have sex about 5 times a week. This morning I was in class and noticed weird bleeding like spotting down there and it wasn't enough for a period and it was a more darker color. I asked my nurse at school and she said spotting could be signs if pregnancy and I wanted to kno was I pregnant or what's the case ??

Hi there
thanks for posting your query at HCM
As per your history you should get your urinary pregnancy test done .Then only it will be confirmed. The cause of bleeding can be implantation bleeding . Or it could be a threatened abortion . Depending upon the test results and whether you want to continue the pregnancy and how much time has lapsed during the last intercourse and your decision and the health of the fetus , the FINAL strategy of treatment can be decided
