A member asked:

I just had unprotected sex i have been on the depo shot for almost 2 years what is the possibitly of pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very small: If you are current on your shot (within the last 3 months) then the pregnancy risk is on the order of 1%. Short of abstinence you are not going to improve on this.
