Depo is nothing more than a time release form of Provera. I was talking
about the Provera you are taking. My answer/opinion still applies.
Please read the insert to see if it mentions anything about pregnancy
and talk to a pharmacist. They generally know a whole lot more about
the drugs than the doctors. As with any pregnancy, you could possibly
have some bleeding even after conception so
the test for sure. Of course, the home tests are not always accurate
either!
