Dr. Beth Cook answered

Pregnant on depo: If you were unknowingly pregnant when you received a Depo-Provera shot, there is an increased risk of miscarriage, implantation issues, and placental concerns. Unfortunately, the effects of Depo-Provera last 11-13 weeks. Discuss with your obstetrician to further evaluate pregnancy risks.
