Dr. Collin Smikle answered

Depo and pregnant: If you use depo-provera as a birth control method, it works by making the endometrial lining very thin and less likely to support a pregnancy. However, if you took it for < a month, you could be pregnant. You should see a provider as soon as possible to confirm what is going on.
