Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Taking A Depo Shot?

Hi I took the depo shot around January 5 and had unprotected sex about three weeks after. He came in me. I looked online afterwords and it says that the shot does not work until after you get your period. I haven’t gotten mine and i believe I should have by now but I was also told the shot stops your period. How great is my chance of being pregnant?

Hello,

I think after you got the shot you will not have your period. Most people you are not pregnant. Anyway ever contraceptive method has its % to fail, and none gives protection 100% secure.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka
