On the Depo shot although having thoughts about baby?

Well recently (as of like january) I was put on the depo shot after told my mother about losing my virginity. My last shot was April 22 and I won't have another one until July 15. Now as of May 11 I was put on Colopen and Lexapro and lately I've been having serious maternal feelings and wanting to have a child of my own (its so bad that every time I see a pregnant girl or a toddler I want to cry because I cannot have one for myself. Is this ok to feel? what should I do about it? I am only 16 and I do not think I should be feeling this terrible and depressed. I want a child.... please someone help!

Update:

I do have a job. and a very supportive boyfriend if we were to choose to have one now. But my bestfriend said to atleast wait un til I am 17. which when my bf comes back (he's going into the national guard for training and will be gone for 6 or 7 months) then Maybe I could have one then. I would be going into my senior year of high school so by the time i had the child i would be out of school.

    Ok i am in the exact same situation that you are. I am on the Depot shot and i want a baby of my own so bad that it's not even funny. Whenever i see a pregnant woman i can usually predict exactly what they are going to have and my friends tell me it's because i want a baby that bad but then i was talking to my friend about it and she said if you have a baby while you are still in high school how are you going to take care of it? I said i will get a job and then she said well if you do that then you won't have time to spend with it because you will always be working and whoever is watching your baby while you work will be closer to the baby than you are and the baby will be closer to them then it is you and then i realized that i should wait at least until i graduate so then at least i can get a job and still have time for my baby. So i think that you should wait it's the best idea.
