Ttc; need advice; please help

Hello everyone, I'm new here and I'm in desperate need of advice. I was on Depo for 9 months and recently stopped in January. I have not had time to figure out my period cycle since stopping. I have had one period since stopping and it started January 29 and ended February 4. Before the shot I had a short, 24 day cycle, so I would ovulate right after my period ended. Assuming it has stayed the same, I should have ovulated right after that period as well. As me and my husband are trying to concieve, we did what couples are trying to concieve do during that time. It is now a week and a half later and I am feeling nausea, bloated, breast tenderness, and slight cramping. I have never had these symptoms before and I just feel completely off. I would suspect that these are early pregnancy symptoms, but I had three days worth of bleeding. It was fairly light (about a pad's worth a day) and it has now stopped, but I am still feeling these pregnancy symptoms or what I assume are pregnancy symptoms. I assume it's too early for a pregnancy test since I assume I'm only about a week and a half since conception so I'm in desperate need of advice. What do y'all think could be going on? Is it irregular bleeding from the shot? Heavy mplantation bleeding? Am I even pregnant? I've never felt these symptoms before and everyone keeps telling me it's likely I'm pregnant, but I don't understand how I could be. PLEASE, ALL ADVICE is needed. Thank you all!

Does the depo shot prevent ovulation? The symptoms you're having could be pregnancy symptoms, but they are also common luteal phase symptoms. And if you're coming off a form of birth control, odd spotting or weird periods is not uncommon. I think you could try testing with a First Response Early Result (FRER) pregnancy test. Many ladies on here get a faint positive if they did conceive at 10dpo. And it is possible that the 3 days of light bleeding was implantation. Good luck!

Planning on testing with FRER tomorrow morning. Here's hoping!!

Good luck! If it's negative, you may not be out yet. It could just not be enough to detect. FX!

Well, I tested with a FRER with FMU this morning and it was a BFN. /: I'm going to test again on Sunday when AF is due. I'm thinking I'm out, but hopefully not!

I'm sorry to hear it was a BFN . FX AF stays away and you get a BFP on Sunday!
