unusual situatuion and possible pregnancy- doctor's advice appreciated

this is a long post, but i would appreciate a response. i am 20 yrs. old, and have been on depo-provera for almost 2 and a half years. in addition, i have endometriosis and fibromyalgia. the depo was prescribed to help alleviate the endo symptoms. i am currently in a manogamous relationship, and am disease free. here's my situation.

my boyfriend and i have sexual intercourse, and usually use condoms just to be extra cautious. nonetheless, we didn't about a month ago, and he just withdrew before climax. to be safe, about a week and a half later, i took a pregnancy test (e.p.t.), and followed the directions and it came back negative. now, about two weeks after the test, i have experienced some breast tenderness and increase in size (just barely, still not a full A!) as well as nausea on a basically daily and constant basis. in addition, however, i did experience some bleeding similar to menstruation, and cramps, alhtough i have not had a real "period" for the past 2.5 years.

my question is, could i be pregnant? i had a period, (or as close to it as i can get, anyway,) i'm on depo, never missed a shot, and realize my nausea could be a fibromyalgia side effect, as well as a stomach condition, and the breast pain could just be "growing pains." (my mother herself was a late bloomer). i'm just curious, i know that according to depo's website only "3 in 1000" women on the shot get pregnant while usuing it... is there a pattern for who does and does not? and what are the odds that i am? thank you in advance, any input is appreciated.
