A member asked:

Had my son on 6/30/13,received my first depo-provera in aug,have been on time for every shot after that.but i been having pregnancy symptoms,can i be pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Most likely not: as side effects of Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) mimic some symptoms of pregnancy. However, there is a small chance of failure for all birth control methods. So, if in doubt, do a home pregnancy test.
