A member asked:

If i have unprotected sex after i miss my depo-provera shot can i be pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It's possible: Even with birth control measures in place, it's not 100% impossible to get pregnant. If you were having unprotected sex and were overdue for a Depo shot, I'd advise doing a home pregnancy test.
