A member asked:

Had the depo shot on the 20th and had unprotected sex 4 days later with my fianc. can i become pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pregnancy nlikely: Depo has therapeutic blood stream levels in 24-48 hours, and even if an egg "escaped" prior to the Depo the thin endometrium makes it unlikely to implant. This is why the Depo shot should only be given within 5 days of a menstrual period.
