Birth Control - depo and pregnancy


Expert: Diane Cheryl - 6/29/2009

Question
I have read your opinion on the depo shot but i have been on it for nearly four years.  Lately, like in the last two months, i have gained weight and my boobs are getting huge... to the point that people around me are noticing.  At home tests are negative.  I go to the gym and eat healthy so there is no reason i should be gaining weight. Do you think i could be pregnant.  Oh, and my lower tummy does feel a little more firmer and its seems to have a bulge.

Answer
I would recommend that you have a checkup to see what is happening. You could get a free pregnancy test at a local pregnancy center. Just call 1-800-395-HELP or go to http://www.optionline.org and ask about a pregnancy test. Or try this website
