I was on Depo provera for 4 years - I stopped getting my shots about 8 months ago. I was having a period every 5 days for 3 days length. I had unprotected sex twice while I was on a "period" they have now stopped it has been 3 weeks since I have bled at all. My nipples are slightly sensitive but they have not darkened like they did when I was pregnant before. Is there a chance I could be pregnant? If so I would only be a couple of weeks pregnant , would symptoms be starting already?

So i think you have no worries and i don`t think you`d have symptoms so early.. ♥ Dez [ ThugGirl041790's advice column | Ask ThugGirl041790 A Question ]

Make an appointment to see your GP. They will ask you to take a urine test, with instant results. Whether you consider it to be good news or the last thing you need, your doctor can provide a listening ear and support if you need it.
Should you feel uncomfortable seeing a family doctor, you can ask to see another GP, and nobody will ask why. It's your right, after all.
This can be an effective Do-It-Yourself way of finding out if you're pregnant, though some can only be used when your period is at least two weeks late. You'll find a range of simple-to-use products on offer at your local chemist, all of which test for the presence of a telltale hormone in your urine that indicates whether or not you are pregnant.
Before you lock yourself away to test your urine, consider who you might turn to once you've got the results. Whether it comes as a shock, relief or a disappointment, it always helps to be able to talk about your feelings.
Take a urine sample to a chemist or health centre
Some pharmacists and health centres offer confidential testing. It's quick, with less chance of misinterpreting the results.
Think ahead: Consider bringing a trusted family member or friend for support.
If you are pregnant, you'll get all the support you need to find a way forward that feels right to you under the circumstances. They'll go through your options, and won't force you into making any decision. It really is down to you. Even if it means informing family, the counselor will help you every step of the way.
