A member asked:

Pregnancy while on depo-provera shot possible?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes!: While the Depo-Provera shot is effective birth control, it is not 100% protective. You should be aware of this and if pregnancy is absolutely not an option, then you should consider added protection with condoms. I hope that this helps!
