A member asked:

I haven't had my period over a week now and im worried i might be pregnant. but then again i just had the birthcontrol shot not to long ago? what is it

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Take a test: If you are not sure then take a test. Usually Depo Provera (medroxyprogesterone) is highly effective but everything has a failure rate.

Dr Ali and another doctor agreed
