A member asked:
Can you still get pregnant while on depo-provera and having unprotected sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is much less likely but no birth control is 100%. There is a small chance you can still become pregnant. This is especially the case if you are on other medication, even briefly, because these sometimes can interfere with hormone regulation. Check with your doctor whenever going on medication like antibiotics.
