A member asked:

Ive been on the depo shot for years. i started spotting irregularly & stopped having a period altogether. i missed my last shot 8-9 days ago. i surprisingly had a period the day before. i had unplanned, unprotected sex today. can i be pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hard to guess: Can test if worried. A urine pregnancy test gives a reliable result 3 weeks after sex (3 weeks after when conception might have occurred), or 1 week after missing a period. If done sooner, a positive result is likely real, but a negative result may be due to testing too soon. DepoProvera 8-9 days late might still be working. Can give one's doctor a call for advice on preventing pregnancy.
