You are currently on the Depo-Provera injection is it possible you could be pregnant?

Answer 1

yes you can, i was on the depo injection from being 14 then i came off it at 18 and fell pregnant 6 months later but unfortunatley miscarried at 8 weeks, i then went back on the depo wich i got every 10 weeks instead of 12 due to heavy blood loss when i was due for my next injection, having it every 10 weeks ment that i had a 1 to 2 week light periond when i was due for my next shot but obviousley i didnt mind this. anyway i was due to get my next injection on 9th January 2009 but i decided to come off it and was thinking about going on the pill i was told that it took 14 weeks from my last injection for the depo to wear off and as i had them every 10 i wasnt worried about protection arround the 9th anyway i didnt have my usual period and am now 11 weeks pregnant, i concived arround the 9th of January when i should have still been covered by the depo for 4 weeks! so yes if your not careful you can get pregnant on it. i never put weight on with the depo and would recommend using it aslong as you don't break your regularity on it and also it effects everyones periods differently i had regular ones as described above, my mam has been on it 3 different times during having 6 kids the first time she never had periods at all for a year, then came off it and she had a full year of bleeding non stop before conceiving, then after that baby she went on it again for another year and the same happened, then after another child she went on it and is still on it after 3 year she has only just stopped having a constant period but she is all over the place with them. my sister doesnt have periods at all on it. my friend had regular 28 day cycle on it but heavy she has now come off the depo and has a marena implant and takes the pill. i also think it can mess with your head i was always moody when on the depo and eery one noticed how much happier i was off it! that might just be me tho, anyway i hope i helped.
