A member asked:

Good day doctors, can one fall pregnant during irregular periods while on depo?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: Depo when used correctly prevents you from releasing eggs. No eggs in position=no chance of pregnancy. If you don't get your depo on time (weeks of delay) you may start to release eggs and be at risk.
