A member asked:

I missed my depo-provera shot today. is there a possiblility i could get pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get it soon: You should be protected if you get it within a week of when it was due. But the longer you wait, the more at risk for pregnancy you are. If you get it within the next few days, you should be protected. And even with Depo, remember no contraceptive other than abstinence is 100% effective.
