What Are The Early Signs Of Pregnancy?

I've been off the depo pill for 2 1/2 weeks. I bleed afta I got off for about a week. I've stoped bleedin for a week and also been feeling good. I had unprotected sex a few days later and I've been feeling nausea having backaches, and headaches. I strtd bleeding not heavy just small amounts at a time. Could I be pregnant or could it be a period?

I am not sure which pill you are describing... Depo is a contraceptive injection you get every 3 months not a pill. But if it has been only 2 and a half weeks since you stopped birth control, it is unlikely you are pregnant. After Depo provera, (the injection) it can take months to completely resume normal cycles and you can have irregular bleeding for even 3 to 6 months after discontinuation. Also if your period was irregular before you started birth control. To be safe, do a pregnancy test, and if you are actively trying to get pregnant, it may be better to wait until you have one normal cycle to start trying so you know what to expect from your cycle. Hope this is helpful and good luck!
