A member asked:

While on the depo-provera shot, if i unknowingly get pregnant, will it hurt the baby if i keep getting shots?

No: Depo-provera will not harm an existing pregnancy. If you get your injections regularly, depo-provera is very effective. If there is any concern, request a urine pregnancy test before your injection.
