A member asked:
I have been on the birth control shot depo-provera since august and i missed it this month is there a chance that i could be pregnant?

Yes.: I'm assuming you meant that you are due for your next Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) shot this month (last one was 3 months ago) and did not receive it. In that case, there is a chance you can get pregnant since the injection is meant for every 3 months. I would use another form of contraception, such as condoms, for now until you receive your injection. Hope this helps!

Yes: The "window" for getting your shot is 14 weeks after the previous shot. If you are beyond that time frame, then pregnancy is possible. See your doctor to get restarted on the shot or choose another method.
