My friend has been taking depo-provera for almost 5months she has took the shot twice & she missed her period a month ago.could she be pregnant?she wants kids

Unlikely: Depo often causes missed periods. Especially with prolonged use. If she had unprotected sexual intercourse and thinks she could be pregnant she should take the test. Never hurts to be certain.
