A member asked:

When on depo-provera shot is it normal to not have a period or to skip a period? is it possible to get pregnant while on depo?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible: After the initial injection of hormonal medicine, you should expect to have irregular periods. It is always possible to get pregnant; however the likelihood is very low. Overall you should sit down with your gynecologist and discuss all the concerns about the depot-shot. Good luck ...
