A member asked:

I need answers......about this medication i am taking ... can i get pregnant while on medroxyprogesterone?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: It is used in the Depo-Provera form for contraception but it can also be used cyclically to help with irregular or heavy periods. It is possible to get pregnant if you just use it orally a few days out of the month.
