A member asked:

If i have sex while on the depo-provera shot and bleeding without protection can i get pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

We never say: You can't get pregnant, but if current on depo-provera it is low probability, bleeding as well is not conducive to the traveling sperm. If concerned check a upt in 2-3 weeks but if on birth control effectively, the bleeding does not increase chances. Good luck.
