A member asked:

Docs, wanted to know if i can get pregnant while on depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: It is unlikely that you could become pregnant while using Depo shots, but anything is possible. Use of a secondary method of birth control (such as a condom) may help you feel less concerned about becoming pregnant.
