What Causes Light Spotting, Nausea And Vomiting After Depo Shot?

default
Posted on Fri, 2 May 2014
Question: I was put on the depo shot in September 2013 and received one shot. The shot was given to help with frequent heavy periods at which point I was anemic. I never got any other shot and I bled for 3 months straight and the fibroids I had dissolved during this/bleeding. Also my tubes have been tied for nearly 10 years. I ended up being two weeks late at which point I am spotting very lightly, nausea with vomiting, headaches, gained 9 lbs in a week, and have been very tired. Can this be effects of coming off the shot or could I be pregnant?

Brief Answer: Can be due to hormonal shot. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for trusting us with your health concern. The symptoms you have could be due to coming off the hormonal effects of the shot. Since your tubes are tied for last 10 years the chances of pregnancy are less than 2%. In case the symptoms are persistent and you do not have periods over next week then do test your urine for pregnancy using a hoe pregnancy kit available over the counter. Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have. Wishing you good health. Regards. Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
