What Causes Severe Nausea And Vaginal Spotting After Taking A Depo-Provera Shot?
Hi, I am on the depo shot and am sexually active and i have recently started spotting once a day. I have been getting really nauseous lately to certain smells and have not been able to sleep lately and have had a change in appetite is there a chance I could be pregnant or is it just my body reacting to the shot??

Hello,
I believe that the symptoms of spotting and nausea may be related to Depo Provera side effects. You should have avoided the intercourse for the first 5 days after the shot. You can do a pregnancy home test to be sure, Provera doesn't affect its results.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
