I got my depo shot april 22nd i was only spotting when i received the shot. Me and my boyfriend had sex the 5th day and he finished in me. Ever since i got the shot he's been finishing in me. I have been on my period for 23 days today (May 12th).. no bleeding coming out or nothing unless i wipe myself.. I've been throwing up, getting dizzy, being emotional, cravings, i get pains in my lower stomach area... Could i be pregnant? & also the other day(may 9th) some gooey stuff came out of me with only a little bit of blood inside of it. what is that? I don't know what to think or do i am worried please help.
First timer depo shot could I be pregnant?

I think it is unlikely you are pregnant, instead you are probably having adverse effects from the medroxyprogesterone In the shot. You are likely quite sensitive to the dose given. Note that progesterone and its relatives like the injection you received impact appetite, uterine lining, emotions, etc. When a person actually is pregnant progesterone is responsable for many of the symptoms. I would still let your doctor know, at very least the depo may not be the best option for you. You might consider the mirena. It is an IUD that delivers hormone only into the uterus, not your entire body so the adverse effects are minimal, and it lasts for 5 years!
