Question 1

im on the depo injection and been on it for over a year and want to know can i get pregnant without my boyfriend cumming inside me because of the depo?

Accepted Answer

Depoprovera : You are on Depoprovera which is highly effective at preventing pregnancy. The location of ejaculation is not relevant since you are protected either way

Question 2

am i able to get pregnant in a few weeks off the depo? i was on the shot for a year 2010-2011 i was suppose to go get another injection in june of 2011, but i end up not getting it because my insurance stop paying for it. from doing research it stated it

Accepted Answer

Yes, : Yes, it is possible for you to get pregant. This is because the hormones in each injection last about 3 months. Since it has been more than 3 months since your last dose, then it is possible that no birth control hormone is present in your system. While some women note that it takes a while for their mentsral cycle to return to normal, there is still a chance that you can get pregnant.
Look for the other early signs of pregnancy such as 
1. Nausea/vomiting - morning sickness 
2. Spotting/breakthrough bleeding - due to an egg's implantation into the uterus 
3. Back pain 
4. Breast enlargement and/or tendeness 
5. Heachaches - due to hormonal changes 
6. Nipple changes (for instance a change in color) 
7. Frequent urination

the pregnancy hormone can be detected in the urine 14 days after conception. Do take a pregnancy test after that time frame.

Question 3

if i got my depo shot july 9th,2015 what's the latest day i can go get my next injection without getting pregnant? october 9th?

Accepted Answer

Depo timing: Depot provera (medroxyprogesterone) is indicated for 90 days  - so you would be due prior to 10/9/2015.   However  since you are at the end of the dose - I would not push the timing much beyond that day as the levels are already  on the low side.     If you delay you run the risk of getting pregnant

Question 4

hi i've had 2 boys and i only had 2 injections of depo shot, i'm just coming off it now end february. i really wanna get pregnant again soon ideas?

Accepted Answer

Patience: there is nothing you can do to make "depo" leave your body faster.

People planning to get pregnant should take good general care of themselves (pre natal vitamins, avoiding alcohol and drugs, good general nutrition, etc.)

Good luck!

Question 5

my last depo injection was a year ago but i'm not having a period yet is it a year from when wears off or last injection? i would love to get pregnant

Accepted Answer

From last injection: Cycles can take up to 9 months to return after the DepoProvera is discontinued, so you are reaching the end of that.  If you still haven't gotten your period in another month you need to get in for a checkup and probably some bloodwork.

Question 6

what can happen if you get a depo-provera shot injection while you are pregnant  ? very early in pregnancy

Accepted Answer

Pregnant on depo: If you were unknowingly pregnant when you received a Depo-Provera shot, there is an increased risk of miscarriage, implantation issues, and placental concerns. Unfortunately, the effects of Depo-Provera last 11-13 weeks. Discuss with your obstetrician to further evaluate pregnancy risks.

Question 7

missed depo-provera injection for 7days can i get pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: There is usually Atwood week grace period between injections.  If you have been getting  your injections regularly then then risk of pregnancy is small.  You should get your injection as soon as possible.

Question 8

can you get pregnant on the depo-provera injection and just precum?

Accepted Answer

That would be quite: Unlikely (but never say never).

Question 9

i got my last injection of depo-provera on oct.28, 2013 i ble ed for 2 months now i'm starting to get clear watery cm. can i get pregnant now?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: You're still under three months from last injection; pregnancy rates in that setting is less than 1%.  If you're not ready to conceive get your next injection on time or switch to something else if you'd rather.

Question 10

when it is possible to get pregnant after a year and a half of discontinuing depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) injection?

Accepted Answer

Depo provera (medroxyprogesterone) is : Notorious in delaying one's return to fertility. If it has been 1.5 years since your last shot i would speak to an reproductive endocrinologist and infertility expert about options especially if you are eager to convceive. It can take up to one year to start ovulating after discontinuing. Also would want to make sure other hormones (like thyroid and prolactin) are normal.
