Could my symptoms indicate pregnancy while on Depo Provera?

Patient's Query

I am currently on phentermine for weight loss and metformin for insulin resistance. I also take vitamins b12,d3,water pills,and vaginal ph balance vitamins. I'm currently on the depo Provera birth control shot once every 3 months. My last shot was feb.13th. I have had more frequent headaches for 2 weeks and ive lost a lot of weight the past 2 weeks and im also very fatigued everyday. To add to it. Ive been more emotional and moody. My moods are all over the place. I recently had bleeding for about 8 days (march22nd to April 1st) it wasn't heavy at all (I didn't need a pad or anything), but it was red. Not dark. Bright light red. It had suddenly started. Lasted for 8 days and then suddenly stopped. I never bleed because im on depo. Maybe an occasional spotting for a few hours every 3 or 4 months, but never actual bleeding. I thought it was odd so I took a pregnancy test. Faint positive. So took 4 more and they were all faint positives. Both red and blue dye tests. I had no cramping while I was bleeding, but now I'm having slight tightness in my lower belly and some upper back pain. Dull back pain. What could this possibly mean?

Answered by Dr. Swapna Chekuri

You need to go to the gynecologist for professional assessment. According to the symptoms, phentermine, metformin, and Depo Provera may be hindering your menstrual cycles and hormonal balance. Blood and home pregnancy test kits may indicate the chance of pregnancy, but confirmation with additional tests is important.

2 nights ago, I was going to have sex with my boyfriend. for 1-2 minutes he had a condom on, but it was too small and wasn’t working well. so we were going to have unprotected sex. we did this for about 30 second to a minute before he stopped, and said he couldn’t get hard enough. then we stopped completely. he didn’t finish, and was no where near being finished. but it was my first time ever having sex, so I'm nervous about it. and wondering if I could possibly be pregnant , or if I should take a plan b

The risk of pregnancy from unprotected intercourse increases if there is ejaculation, but it's still possible to conceive even without ejaculation. Consider taking a pregnancy test to confirm.

Hi, my wife had an chest xray done and as a precaution we covered her pelvis area with a lead plate as we were unsure about her pregnancy but after 7 days her test came positive and we got to know that she is 2 months pregnant pregnancy ( we conducted 2 p.tests prior but they came negative), Should we go fwd with the baby? Please advise as we are really worried.

Female | 29

Radiation is neither dangerous nor harmful to an unborn baby when the mother's stomach is well covered during pregnancy and X-rays are taken. The child was probably well protected by the lead plate covered by the pelvic region during the X-ray. In general, radiation obtained from a single X-ray is so low that it cannot make an early pregnancy harmful. Nevertheless, telling the doctor about the X-ray and pregnancy is always the best choice. They might wish to examine the pregnancy more often to make sure that it is developing properly.

I am 18 year girl. I am on my period but my period flow is very less.It's 3rd day but today no bleeding.I am very worried. I also take iron supplement from tomorrow. Am I pregnant?

Female | 18

Sometimes, a light period or no bleeding at all on the third day could occur due to several reasons not related to pregnancy. Stress, changes in lifestyle, or hormonal changes can be some of the factors. A pregnancy test would be the best way to know if you are worried about being pregnant.

My periods are delayed and I am in doubt that seman got on my fingers a bit and did fingering

Female | 21

Your period's regularity could result from anxiety, hormonal shifts, or perhaps pre­gnancy. Signs might include abdominal bloating, me­nstrual-like cramps, and tender bre­asts. It's wise to be patient, se­e if menstruation begins. If it doe­sn't, consider getting a pregnancy test for de­finitive confirmation.
