How Long Would It Take For Me To Find Out If I M Pregnant?
I ve been off of the depo povera shot for about a month. I ve had some irregular spotting and some abdominal pain. It s been about two weeks after intercourse. My breast have been a bit tender and a off whitish/clear substance came from my breast. I took an at home pregnancy test and it came back negative. I wanted to know how long would it take for me to find out if I m pregnant?

Hallow Dear,
Breast secretions during pregnancy start usually 2 weeks after the missed period. I would advise you to wait till you miss your period. If you miss it, then also carry out urine pregnancy test after 8-10 days, that too on overnight first morning urine sample. Done earlier, these tests may give false negative results.
Alternatively, you may go for Beta hCG test which gives reliable results even few days before missing period.
The possibility of post Depo Provera irregularity and spotting should be kept in mind, however should not be presumed. If your pregnancy tests are negative, you are not pregnant. Then you have got two opions:
1. Wait for the periods to appear naturally.
or
2. Take Tab. Deveri for 5 days. 4-7 days after discontinuing them, you will get withdrawal bleeding.
The choice is up to you.
I hope this helps you.
