Is It Possible To Have Negative Pregnancy Tests And Still Be Pregnant,and Can Depo Cause False Negatives And Pregnancy Symptoms?

Hi. Question. I started the Depo shot in late April, got another in late July and was due for another by October 31st. I did not get the last shot. I had unprotected sex that day, and a bout a week after using only the withdrawal method. I have not had a period yet, although I bled continuously while on the shot. The only spots I have had have been in the last 2 weeks, one a little pink one day and another day a little pink. The last few months, my bf has said my boobs look bigger. They also are very sore and they hurt when they are squeezed or when I lie on them. When I lie on my stomach it is very uncomfortable. I dare to say I can feel something moving around.I have nausea, and terrible gas and headaches. I have been craving foods and eat all day. I have all the symptoms of pregnancy, but I have taken 3 hpts which all said negative. Is it possible to have negative pregnancy tests and still be pregnant? Can the depo cause these false negatives or does it cause these symptoms?

hi the symptoms you are experiencing are not necessarily due to pregnancy . they can also be due to hormonal imbalance . sore breasts can be due to progestrone which can cause water retention and sore breasts and increase in the size. since your upts are negative pregnancy is ruled out . anyways immediately after discontuining depot shots ovulation takes time to return to normal so chances of conception are low. so you are not pregnant . take care and also start using an alternate mode of contraception now.
