A member asked:
Does depo usually fail if not taken at the correct time frames? (every 12-13 weeks)? any other ways it can fail?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes for noncomplianc: Any family planning should be followed as instructed and particularly Depo as even not missing pills or shots you still have a rare chance to be pregnant with method failure. Do follow your doctor faithfully and don't take chance. Good luck
