A member asked:
I started birth control in dec 2012 in which ihad the depo-provera shot. i missed the app to get my 2nd injection. is it possible to get pregnant still?

Yes: If you missed the appointment for the 2nd injection and you aren't currently on any form of birth control (pills, etc.), then yes, it is absolutely possible to get pregnant. The Depo-Provera shot only lasts for 12 weeks, so if it's been longer than that, you need to use a backup until you see your doctor.
