Accepted Answer

Do you want 2B Mom?: why are you having unprotected sex for the past 3 months? If you don't want to get the depo shot 4 times a year you can get an IUD. You should discuss your options with someone knowledgable soon and act upon it.

Question 4

i got my first depo shot on thursday may 11 . can i have unprotected sex on friday may 19 at 12 am midnight? or even on thursday may 18 , since it's been a week ?

Accepted Answer

You decide: These hormonal preparations work by preventing egg release. It may take some time for your body to respond to the med &amp; some providers suggest a backup BC for the first month, even when the product says it takes effect sooner. The choice and risk are yours to decide/deal with.

Question 5

i had received a depo shot 9 days ago , and had unprotected sex on the 9th day . so i took a plan b . will the plan b effect the depo shot ?

Accepted Answer

Protection from what: It turns out that regular Depo-Provera shots every 3mo is very effective at preventing pregnancy. It's not 100% effective but as close as we can get if you get shot in timely manner. So Plan B emergency contraception isn't necessary nor will it affect Depo-Provera. But no hormonal birth control protects against sexually transmitted diseases/infections. That's why condom use is still necessary, too

Question 6

i've been on the depo shot for 5 months with no bleeding i had unprotected sex with my fianc now i am bleeding unlike when we have protected sex. why?

Accepted Answer

Several reasons: May have nothing to do with the sex.  Women on depo can have irregular bleeding.  May have just coincided with the sex.  If the sex was very physical could be some trauma to cervix which could cause bleeding.  Also have to think about infection as cause.  If it continues more than a week, please see doctor for evaluation.  Hope this was helpful.  Best of luck with this.  Dr R

Question 7

would if be okay to have unprotected sex on the depo-provera shot?

Accepted Answer

Most likely!: The Depo-Provera shot effectively suppresses ovulation and thickens the cervical mucous, providing excellent birth control.  But there is no method of birth control that is 100%.  We have all taken care of women that have gotten pregnant on the Depo-Provera shot - it does happen, though it is very uncomon.  Also the Depo-Provera shot will not protect from std's.

Question 8

how long after my depo-provera shot will i be able to have unprotected sex?

Accepted Answer

You are protected: It takes one week to take effect if given during the first five days after the period cycle.But effective immediately if given during the first five days of period cycle.

Question 9

if you had unprotected sex before your next depo-provera shot are you protected ?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: As long as you are getting your Depo-Provera shots on time, you will have continuous protection from pregnancy. If you get a shot late, then a back up method is recommened.

Question 10

how long after getting first dose of depo provera shot do i have to wait until having unprotected sex?

Accepted Answer

It Depends: If you get depo provera in the first 7 days of your cycle, it works right away. If you don’t, you’ll need to use another form of birth control for 1 week. Always use condoms to protect against STD/STI transmission.
