hi....looking into your case history...depot provera is an injectible contraceptive,and prevents the egg release and irregular bleeding is a known side effect .Its effect lasts for 3 months .Also your menstrual history is important as women with irregular menstruation, prior to this injection are not given this inj depo provera .Fluid retention happens with progesterone,so your breast symptoms are probably related to this.Regarding cephalexin :it would only help to check infection due to persistent spotting and prevents to perpetuate the vicious cycle of spotting....infection...spotting... For conception wait for 3 months till the effect goes.Also what is your obs history:any prior conceptions and children with you??your active married life...any prior work up for infertility? done,if not the basic work up includes age,Menstrual history:is it regular, Ultrasound uterus and adnexa,semen analysis of husband,s TSH,S Prolactin, Tubal patency test:HSG,ovulation study.hormonal assay: SLH,S FSH and further follow up as per results of these tests
