On The Depo Shot. Had Unprotected Sex And Spotted. Chances Of Pregnancy?
Question: hi my name is XXXXXX i am on the depo shot and i had unprotceted sex with my boyfriend and i spotted for a few week but it ran away could it be a chance i can get pregnant
Hey there XXXXXX.
The depot shot is pretty safe where pregnancy is concerned. The spotting may be unrelated. However, i have seen & had worse accidents. Hence i err on the side of caution. Please do a B-Hcg blood/serum test to assess the condition. If negative as i envisage it will be, you can breathe easier!
Trust this is clear & preecise & do hope it all pans out well inthe end. Cheers!
