Question
i am on the depo shot me and my boyfriend had sex and he told me that he bust in me now i have been cramping and i have been feeling like i have to throw up am i preganet

Answer
No, most likely you are not pregnant if you have been getting your shots as scheduled. Nausea and cramps are side effects from the shot. I recommend calling your doctor if the symptoms do not go away in a few days or if they are very bad. I also recommend calling your doctor if you were late getting your last shot, or missed it. But as long as you have been on time getting it, it is unlikely you are pregnant.

I hope this helps. If you have further questions let me know.
