A member asked:

Can i get pregnant? i got a depo-provera shot 2 1/2 months ago, and have had one every 3 months for over a year. i had unprotected sex and am concerned.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The : The Depo-Provera shot lasts for 12 weeks, so it would be extremely unlikely that you could pregnant. If you had continued concerns then take a test, but it is unlikely.
