What Causes Breast Soreness And Backache Post Discontinuation Of Depo Injection?

Hi I had one depo shot feb 5th and due to symptoms didn t go back. I have had some minor breast soreness back and leg pain. I didn t know if it was still the hormones returning to normal so I took a test. The positive line appeared and then disappeared. What does this mean?? I do not know if my period is late or if I should test again.

Hi. My advice is that you should get a HCG test done at a medical laboratory. Preferably serum test that is done on the blood. This test will give you a reliable idea of the presence or absence of pregnancy. Breast soreness is a non specific symptom and can arise due to cyclical hormonal changes. I presume that the test you have done is a home based kit done on an urine sample. Since the home based test has given a result that we call as equivocal in medical terms I suggest that you should get the test done in a medical lab. Further decisions can be made based on your lab report.
