A member asked:

I got my first depo-provera shot on the same day my period was due i still have not gotten my period or any bleeding i am 13 days late now could i be pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Typically most offices will administer a pregnancy test before giving a woman the depot Provera (medroxyprogesterone) shot. It's possible that if you had sex a few days before you got the shot that you are pregnant. If worried, then consider a home pregnancy test, just to be sure. Normal for the shot to cause absence of periods entirely, though, that's a known side effect of the medication.
