What Are The Side Effects Of Depo Provera Injection?
I have been on the depo shot for 10 months. I immediately stopped having a period after the 1st shot, and have never spotted. Just recently started having unprotected sex, I am nauseous at least once a day, which is not a common thing thing for me at all. I am also spotting, and have sporadic cramps, which I know is normal on depo. I m assuming the only answer is take a urine pregnancy test?

Hi,
Irregular/absent periods,spotting / cramps off &on are usual side effects of Depot Provera.Nausea is also many a times seen in depot users.
So, if you are regular user of Depot prover , you need not worry, there is least chance of pregnancy.
But if you have missed/delayed a dose/ you are tense with thought of pregnancy, you can exclude pregnancy by urine/blood pregnancy test.
Thanks.
