I missed my depo shot the first week of April. Had unprotected sex on May 16th and 23rd. I'm experiencing gas, bloating, tender nipples, nausea without vomiting, and a heightened sense of smell. My last period was a light one that lasted two weeks after missing the depo shot. My last pap smear in January was normal, and all STD and HIV tests were negative. Is it possible for me to be pregnant, and should I take a pregnancy test?

I have been experiencing sharp, stabbing pain in my lower abdomen, specifically where my right ovary used to be, for the past one to two months. I have had a hysterectomy, so I no longer have my uterus or ovaries. The pain was not consistent until a month ago.

Can these conditions still be causing issues even though I no longer have my ovaries or uterus?
