A member asked:

If you have unprotected sex twice while spoting/bleeding and the guy cums in you can you get pregnant but your also on depo-provera povera?

Pregnancy: Depo is known to cause abnormal bleeding , if you are taking your shots on time you should be protected ftpm pregnancy, but nothing but anstinence is 100% effective.... You should always use condoms to decrease risk of stds...

Depo is good: If you've been on depoprovera for more than a couple of weeks, you have excellent contraception--you are very unlikely to have gotten pregnant. "the guy" could offer you a variety of std's since there is no mention of a condom. Depoprovera offers no protection against sexually transmitted infections. Some bleeding on Depo-Provera is common and does indicate less effectiveness as birth control.
