Hi,

You are having unprotected sexual relations for 3 months while you have taken Depo shot just 3 weeks ago. You definitely stand the risk of pregnancy. Depo offers you protection from pregnancy only after you have taken it. The intercourses done before Depo are not protected. However, your pregnancy test is negative; hence you are not pregnant. Depo shot has progestational ingredient as an active principle. Progesterone does cause gastric disturbances, weight gain and breast symptoms like heaviness and tenderness.

So you need not be concerned about these symptoms as due to pregnancy when your pregnancy test is negative. For your gastro-enterological symptoms, some good antacid might help you. If it does not give you any relief, please report to your Gynaecologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nishikant Shrotri
