The Depo anti pregnancy shot may cause several pregnancy symptoms. One of these is a lightened or completely removed menstrual cycle, this is because Depo tricks the body into believing it's already pregnant. A pregnancy test should be done to make sure, however.

The Depo shot may cause pregnancy symptoms. These are generally involving a loss of period or reduced period, however a pregnancy test should be taken if pregnancy is suspected.

What are the signs of pregnancy if you're on depo provera?

AnswerIf you mean what are some similarities in side affects of the depo and being pregnant some of them are: breast tenderness, no periods or less bleeding, weight gain or loss, nausea, and other things less common. Its different in every woman but usually the same symptoms when your not on any contraceptive medication. If you suspect pregnancy see your doctor.Its unlikely to become pregnant while on DEPO. If you think you're pregnant, take a pregnancy test. The symptoms would be the same symptoms as any woman gets when she's pregnant.
