Question 1

can i get pregnant if i miss getting my depo-provera shot.?

Accepted Answer

Yes: While Depo-Provera is very long acting, you take a risk getting pregnancy if you miss doses.

Question 2

can you get pregnant if you miss your depo-provera shot?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Don't  miss it if you don't want to be  pregnant and if you think you may be  take a pregnancy  test before taking the  next shot.

Question 3

what is the chance that after 4years on depo-provera if i were to miss a shot for the first time that i could get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Definitely possible: If you don't want to get pregnant use condoms until you talk to your doctor about getting back on depoprovera.

Question 4

was on depo-provera in 2006. miss last shot in sept 2010 on purpose. cycle started in oct 2010. i am reg every 26- 27 days. will it take long to get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: You are 1&1/2 years from returning to a normal ovulation / shedding endometrial wall cycle, and your periods are regular.  I dont believe it should be more difficult to get pregnant than other women never on depot.  Don't know ur age and how fast ur biological clock is ticking, but relax about when and if it occurs--anxiety about it may prevent it.  Have intercourse during mid-cycle (ovulating)...

Question 5

can i get pregnant if i miss depo shot and not having my period??

Accepted Answer

Most certainly: O course you can get pregnant as once the depo provera (medroxyprogesterone) medication is out of your blood stream then ovulation can occur PRIOR to any succeeding period flow.

Question 6

if i miss my depo-provera shot is there a chance i can get pregnant i missed my shot today. i am planning on getting pregnant would i have a chance?

Accepted Answer

Depo and pregnancy: It may take a little longer, but you can definitely still get pregnant.

Question 7

my depo-provera shot is due next month if i miss it & have sex can i get pregnant what are the chances?

Accepted Answer

If you stop the Depo: And have intercourse, you are not protected against pregnancy.

Question 8

would a blood pregnancy test be accurate if you waited three week after sex and you are on depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) bc you no longer get a period nevr miss a shot?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Three weeks after sex is long enough for a pregnancy test to show whether or not a woman got pregnant 3 weeks ago.

Question 9

can you get pregnate if you miss depo-provera shot by 4 weeks? i was supposed to take my shot last month and forgot and now im feeling different

Accepted Answer

Yes: Depo-provera is only expected to work if it is used as prescribed.  Theoretically, you could get pregnant even if you miss the shot by one day.  The greater the amount of time missed by, the greater the risk.  A pregnancy test would provide an answer to the question.

Question 10

if i have unprotected sex after i miss my depo-provera shot can i be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

It's possible: Even with birth control measures in place, it's not 100% impossible to get pregnant.  If you were having unprotected sex and were overdue for a Depo shot, I'd advise doing a home pregnancy test.
