Light bleeding and an uneasy feeling
Had sex on the 16th and today on the 22nd I am light bleeding and having some abdomen uneasiness. I am on depo and I know that implant bleeding occurs 1 week after conception and technically it has been a week since I had unprotected sex, could I be pregnant or just spotting from depo (usually I don't see a period or spotting at all been on it for over a year now) and is it ok to take a pregnancy test now?

Depo-Provera prevents pregnancy by stopping ovulation (the release of an egg by your ovaries). It thickens your cervical mucus, which makes it hard for sperm to reach and fertilize an egg. It also thins your uterine lining, which makes it hard for a fertilized egg to implant, or attach, to your uterus .
A urine home pregnancy test HPT usually becomes positive within a week or so after implantation, or around the time of your expected menstrual period. It becomes positive about12-14 days days after ovulation and fertilization.
