my depo-provera shot is due next month if i miss it & have sex can i get pregnant what are the chances?

Question

What is the chance that after 4years on Depo-Provera if I were to miss a shot for the first time that I could get pregnant?

Answer 1

If you stop the Depo: And have intercourse, you are not protected against pregnancy.

Answer 2

Yes: The horomones that regulate breast milk production can result in dry and atrophic vaginal tissue. This can markedly decrease the sex drive. Exhaustion from around the clock feedings also can have a dramatic impact on sex drive.

Answer 3

Yes: Breastfeeding is a big part of a new mom's daily life, and does influence her sex drive. The influence can be for the better or for the worse, depending on many, many factors (such as her views on breastfeeding, how easy or hard it is for her to breastfeed, her body image, her relationship with her husband, etc. . ..).

Answer 4

Nursing and sex: Of course, every woman is different, and many nursing mothers report that breastfeeding doesn't affect their libido one way or another. Some even feel more sexual than their bottle-feeding peers, finding breastfeeding an extremely pleasant, and even sensual, experience that can translate into amorous feelings for their partner.

Answer 5

No: Generally, no. Pregnancy does cause sleep related problems, most notably due to discomfort and/or anxiety, and this can increase problems with depression. After delivery, sleep deprivation can add to this. Good mental health includes personal time, exercise and nutrition and deficiencies in any one do increase your risk.

Answer 6

Not necessarily: I need to have more information what you mean. If you aren't able to sleep (insomnia or early morning wakening with difficulty falling back to sleep) that may be a sign that some depression is starting. However, many pregnant women may have difficulty getting comfortable especially as they get larger or have to awaken to use the bathroom. So i would advise you to discuss this with your ob-gyne.

Answer 7

No: Back sugery shouldn't elevate your blood pressure.

Answer 8

Unlikely: Previous back surgery should have no effect on blood pressure during pregnancy or any other time for that matter. It more likely related to pregnancy and should be discussed with the OB doctor.

Answer 9

No: There are many benign causes for spotting or bleeding early in pregnancy, and 30% of all women with normal pregnancy outcomes will actually have bleeding in the first trimester. Of course it is important to contact your physician if you are having bleeding with your pregnancy, but it does not mean the pregnancy will end in miscarriage.

Answer 10

No: It is very common to have some spotting in early pregnancy because little capillaries on the cervix frequently bust open spontaneously or with intercourse.

Answer 11

Yes: Have you had sex in ethe last month? If so do a pregnancy test and find out good luck.
