So...I took a pregnancy test and it was negative. My bbs hurt (a lot!!!), I have a crampy, pressure feeling in my pelvis, I am cranky...etc. No sign of af either.
But...I think I might have figured something out! Here is some background:
I am a small person, I am 5'4" and weighed 125lbs when I got married. The strongest medicine I ever take is Tylenol! I am what Dr's call a medicine virgin. Dr's are always giving me too much medicine! Too large of doses.
Depo Provera is a false progesterone that is injected every 3 months and is slowly released through your body, basically putting it on hold, preventing pregnancy.
#1 thing I wonder is if it is possible the dosage of Depo they gave me is more than my body needs.
More Background:
Hormones are stored in fat. Fake Progesterone has a tendancy to promote fat gain by causing more cortisol to be present (still researching more on how). Natural progesterone promotes fat loss. 
After starting Depo, I was fine weightwise until I quit my active waitressing job, got a desk job and started eating like my husband. (who at a healthy weight is 195lbs!) oops!
#2 So...by gaining 30lbs in 1yr (thanks to Depo, inactivity and gorging!) I gave my body lots of places to store any extra progesterone!
More Background:
Now that I am 30lbs heavier than I should be, I am attempting to loose weight. (weight watchers! Great thing!) I have lost almost 10lbs! YAY! Slows down a tad when I have all these crazy symptoms that I KNOW are caused by hormones! (bbs sore, nausea, headaches, tired, etc.) But...not pregnant and no af!
#3 What happens to all the hormones stored in my fat that I just lost? Released into my body and does what hormones are supposed to do! Cause symptoms!
So...just to sum up:
I was injected with fake progesterone (possibly too much for my body) every 3 months for 1.5yrs. Gained 30lbs in 1yr. Extra hormone is stored in fat. Got off Depo, started loosing weight, hormones are still being released into my body from the stores in my fat!
So...I just need to basically de-tox my body! And to do that quicker, I need to continue to loose all that extra fat I added on in the last year!
So...I probably will not be pregnant within the next year, but at least I have a possible idea what to do about it! YAY!
Ok this is getting long. Have a great day!
