Yes. You may want to consider an alternative method until you get your next injection.

If the "injections" are with depo-progesterone, not taking the September renewal of depo-progesterone will allow for ovulation in some women, which can result in pregnancy. The problem is that ovulation can occur and no menstrual period will occur, so confidence in the birth control method may find an advanced pregnancy because of the lapse in treatment.
