A member asked:

Im on depo-provera shot but know i think im pregnant. i have been having symptoms and brown color discharge could i be pregnant

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It's possible: But unlikely. The only method of birth control that is foolproof is abstinence, so it is always possible you could be pregnant. That said, depo-provera is highly effective. If you have been getting your shots on time, there is minimal risk (but not nonexistent) of getting pregnant. Get a pregnancy test.

Dr Ferdowsi and another doctor agreed
