pregnant after quitting the Depp shot

So for the last couple weeks I've felt bloated, very sore breasts and rather nauseous almost all the time. I stopped getting the depo shot after getting the last one in November 2011. since then, I have not had a regular period, just a couple weeks of spotting. I took 2 tests this morning and confirmed that I am pregnant. My question is, how can I calculate when I  conceived without knowing when my last period was? I haven't had a real period since starting the depo shot in 2007. Im excited to figure it out, I just don't know how to do it. Any help?

This is exactly what happened to me. I was on depo for 6 years and in Sept 2011 I got off of it. About a few weeks later I spotted for a day and then about a month later I started spotting again but that was it. I never really considered that as a period. A few weeks later I knew I was expecting to get my period and didn't so I took a test and I was pregnant. I wasn't sure when I conceived so when I went to the doctors they did a internal ultrasound and I was 5 weeks pregnant. Now I'm 38 weeks and going to have a little boy in a few weeks. so I would say to set up a doctors appointment and they will do an ultrasound to figure it out. Good Luck and congratulations!

i had no other choice but to pump :'( my daughter had a short tongue and needed that web thing under her tongue cut and by the time they did that, she was already used to bottle feeding...i was soooo upset...but regardless, my daughter had breastmilk for exactly one year :) and i feel very proud bc she is brilliant and is hardly ever sick, she was a fantastic baby, and everything was amazing.....she's three years old now :)

Set up the doctor appointment give them the dates of the days you've spotted. If its not viable they will do an ultrasound and calculate the date based on the size of the baby yolk sack fetal pole or uterine thickening. I had a miscarriage expelled the baby and got pregnant without a period im 10 weeks and 4 days based on baby's size GOOD LUCK!!! try and remember when you had sex!!
