Is this a pregnancy or the flu?
My girl has been on the depo shot (progesterone shot) for 6 months. She took them on time and is still bound to expire this coming January.
The thing is, last week (around Thursday) she had a 1 day mild spotting that we suspect should be due to the shot wearing off. The next day (Friday) she had nausea at the evening, but didn't throw up.
However, just this morning (around 2am) she couldn't sleep and threw up several times, she claims she feels hot and thinks she has a fever, she has mild LBM, dizziness, and feeling chills. I am suspecting that she has the stomach flu, but i'm wondering how likely that it is pregnancy symptoms?

She didn't spot because the shot is wearing off. She spotted because a little breakthrough bleeding is normal while on a continuous form of birth control like the shot. That doesn't mean at ALL that the shot is becoming less effective. It doesn't become less effective until after the next shot is due.
And that thing about women starting to vomit, and finding out that way that they're pregnant? That's just in movies. In the real world when you start throwing up, feel feverish, get diarrhea, feel dizzy and get chills, you have either a stomach flu or food poisoning.

My money is on flu, but I see your concern if she had a brief "period". There is a chance she ovulated, but it's a small one. Sounds like a virus though.
