A member asked:

If already on depo-provera then take birth control pills at the same time can you get pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: If you have taken Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) in the last 3 months then you shouldn't take an other hormonal birth control. Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) is very effective for birth control.
