Unfortunately if you already got your period back you could be. Why does your signature say you are 26 weeks along if you are asking if you are freshly pregnant?

Hi Sammy jane,

There is a chance you are pregnant yes

But, and this is a big BUT, depo is notorious for delaying ovulation for quite a while after you finish it. Heck, I haven't ovulated since I came off it nearly 8 months ago. And even though your last two cycles appeared normal, they very likely were just breakthrough bleeding. Plus you gave birth just 8 months ago, this mixed with the depo could be messing with your hormones, hence the late period.

I guess I'm saying don't panic and take a test. I'd be surprised if it's positive but the sooner you know, the sooner you can decide what to do.

Let me know hon if you don't mind, you can always PM me.

I'd strongly reccommend the Persona monitor for contraception without hormones - worked for me for years.

As you had two bleeds in december, I very very much think that your cycles are just messed up with the depo so don't panic. Just take the test and let me know if you want to chat after you've done it - I understand that pregnancy isn't always desired, even though it largely is on this board.

Forgot to say - coming off the depo does mimic pregnancy symptoms. I had nausea, sore boobs and bloating for at least 4 months after coming off
