It is highly unlikely to get pregnant on the depo provera. And if you are worried because you have not had a period in two months that is normal for the depo shot. It is made to stop your period
The two reasons you take your first short during your period are that you know you are not pregnant, and the shot prevents you ovulating in your next cycle. The shot can be given later but you should then use a barrier method of contraception for 7 days. This should all have been explained to you by the person giving you the shot. It appears you did not have sex after your period so you were not pregnant but as you had the shot so late in your cycle you would probably have ovulated. You then went on to have sex. YOu would have been unprotected by the shot as your own hormones would have been already activated. The problem is also that while on the shot many women do not have periods so if you do not have your next period it may be because of the shot, or you may indeed be pregnant. All I can suggest is that if you don't have a period when it is due that you wait a week or so and take a pregnancy test. You cannot rely on other signs that you are pregnant as the effects of the shot often mimic those also. Good luck
"Yes you do i was on my period when i got my first shot an I've been on the shot for one year an i not had a period since" This is incorrect, they advise you to get the shot when your on your period as they need to be sure your not pregnant when you have the shot. If you've had your menstrual cycle but have not had sex since, they will still allow you to have the shot. Then you'll have to wait a certain amount of time until your protected. (they told me 7 days and this was 4 days after coming off my period) but the length of time may have something to do with where you are in your cycle.
No its not possible only if you were pregnant before you took the shot. some wome who take the shot don't get a period at all after the shot because of the hormones. It takes you 6-12 months to get a period again after you took the first shop and even longer if you are try to conceive after the shot because even if your 3 monts is up the homone is still in your system.
Yes, there is a high chance. Once you miss your appointment for the next shot , over the next twenty four hours it is no longer effective . Even if your period is coming soon, its rare but you can be pregnant & on your period. good luck :)
Most people on the depo shot do not get their period. i was on it for about 7 years and only had my period for about the first year
It is common to have no period when using Depo Provera.
i have been on the depot shot for three months my period did not come the fourth month what should i do
You are supposed to get the shot when you are on your period to make sure you aren't pregnant, but you still need your yearly exam and the doctors dont want you on your period for that.
it is not a period it is heavy spotting.
pregnant
I believe it doesn't. But in The Fall of 2009 a paper was passed out at doctors offices showing for the H1N1 Swine Flu 2009 pregnant women and Children should be the first people to obtain the shot first.
