Is it possible to be pregnant 2 weeks after you were due for your Depo-Provera shot?

Answer 1

The depo shot becomes effective within 7 days of getting it, and lasts 13 weeks (or as long as your physician instructs it will last) until your next appointment. Although you CAN get pregnant, there's a slim chance of it--very slim! The Depo Provera shot is 99.97% effective against pregnancy, regardless if you use a condom or not, and regardless if it's your first shot or your twelfth shot. The prevention of pregnancy starts immediately within getting the shot, because you don't ovulate (stops eggs from being released from your ovaries), and when you don't ovulate, that means that no sperm can fertilize your egg, which means you have a very very very slim chance of getting pregnant. no ovulation=typically no pregnancy. Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Yes. You can get pregnant at any time while on the depo shot, though it is statistically unlikely its possible. Its suggested that you use pregnancy tests with some regularity when on any contraceptive method that suspends menstruation, just in case, so you can discontinue use should pregnancy occur as high doses of hormones may be harmful to fetuses.

Answer 4

It is possible, but not likely, to get pregnant while on Depo Provera. If you are getting your shots on time, you are well protected.

Answer 5

Yes. If you don't get your shot in time, then you are unprotected. The effect stops right away.

Answer 6

You can rely on the Depo Provera shot for pregnancy protection through the entire period between injections as long as you are on time for each shot.

Answer 7

If you are on time for your Depo Provera injection, you are equally protected for 13 to 15 weeks after your last shot.
