Had A Depo Shot. Have Spotting. What Can Help? Early Pregnancy?

my hubby and i have only been trying for 3 months. i had my son 8 months ago, had depo shot in march finished June. it didn t stop my af or anything it regulated it then this last month it s gone stupid. and for the last month i have had spotting for 4 days another it stops for a week and more spotting . i had an ultrasound the other day cause blood tests were negative for hcg but i had 3 faint positives with urine . I ve done no urine tests for a couple of weeks and no more blood tests and last spotting finished WEEK AGO :( my uterin wall was 6mm on Wednesday and i have bad cramps today. what do u ladies think early pregnancy and didn t show on ultrasound?? or should wait till af? what should the uteran wall be when in early stages of pregnancy ? or when period is due.

Hi,
Thanks for the query.

The chances of pregnancy are less in your case because:
Blood test was negative.
Urine tests sometimes can give false positive results.
Endometrial thickness is less.

Usually just before periods or in early pregnancy the endometrial thickness of around 8 mm to 1 cm is expected.
But there are exception to it also.
so you wait for one more week by that time you will get periods.
If not with your doctor's advice you can go for withdrawal bleeding.
Take care.
