What Are The Symptoms Of Pregnancy?
I ve been off the depo for two months. I had my period a couple of weeks after missing my next shot. One month later I started having pregnancy symptoms and I ve missed my current period but the pregnancy test came back negative. Could I still be pregnant, is there something wrong with my body, or is the depo still in my system?

Hi,
I understand your query.
Return of fertility takes 9-10 months after last injection of depot provera. By 18 weeks of withdrawal, the fertility returns to it's original level.
I feel the delay in periods/ symptoms you have seem to be withdrawal symptoms of the hormone.
I would advise to trust blood HCG test for diagnosing/excluding pregnancy in such a case.
Thanks.
