Brief Answer:
You are not pregnant if your pregnancy tests are negative.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and I hope I can help you today.
First, I want to reassure you that no matter how you feel, if your pregnancy tests are negative, there is no way you could
be pregnant. No medications that you take affect the accuracy of your results.
In addition, pregnancy symptoms vary widely between women, and the most common sign of pregnancy is a missed period.
Depo Provera can take a while to get out of your system and for your regular period to come back. In the meantime, you may feel bloated, have breast tenderness or mood changes as your ovulation starts to come back, which may make you feel pregnant. However, you still can get pregnant even if your period hasn't come back yet, so you should use some method of contraception if you do not desire pregnancy.
I hope I was able to answer your question today and that this information was reassuring.
Best wishes, Dr. Brown
