A member asked:
What happens to the sperm if it goes inside but you're on birth control shots '?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sperm dies: While sperm can survive for up to 5 days in the vagina, the Depo-Provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) shot prevents it from fertilizing an egg and it eventually dies and is discharged from the vagina.
