Pregnancy ?: If the blood loss from the accident was not due to vaginal bleeding, the "depo shot" will still be protective against pregnancy. With depoprogesterone , periods are often irregular or absent. Obtain a serum HCG test to accurately determine pregnancy, but the chances are the irregular (missed) period is b/c of the "depo shot".
