Sexually Active, Had Taken Depo Shot. Nipples Sore And Itchy, Sensation Across Abdomen. Could Be Pregnant ?

Hello Dr. ,
I recently had a child 4-4-13 via c section, and the beginning of may 2013 I had gotten on the depo provera shot. I do not remember exactly what day it was that I had went an got the injection, except it was the 2nd week of may at the latest. I am due now for the next dosage and have not yet gone to get it. My husband and I have been sexually active with no protection and I started having weird symptoms showing up. The first week I had cramps and sore nipples, the 2nd week (this week) my nipples have become itchy and still sore, the cramps are still present and when I get up to quickly or move suddenly I have the same sensations shoot across my abdomen as round ligement pain. I noticed a few days ago I started having a thin white milky discharge and my cervix was moving up and down. One night it would be really low and a few night later it would be really high. The discharge has now turned into a thick milky lotion substance just like when I was pregnant. There is no odor nor color to it and it does not itch. I have began having miagrains this past week also and just an over whelming feeling of not gettin enough sleep along with very vivid dreams that are awaking me. Is it possible that I could be pregnant again, or could these just be symptoms of the depo shot wearing out of my system. Please help me!!

Hello,

Above features are mostly due to side effect of depo shot. It is highly effective (99.7%) against unwanted pregnancy. To clear confusion, you may undergo one home pregnancy test.

Milky white vaginal discharge is quite physiological. It may be due to extra dose of progesterone (depo shot) which also causes sore nipples. As it has no odor or color or itching, you have nothing to worry. Just maintain your genital hygiene.

Take some medication for migraine after consultation with doctor. Take balanced diet and drink more water. Good luck.
