    Depo-Provera is a hormonal method of birth control where a woman receives a shot of Progestin every 12 weeks in order to prevent the release of an egg. Since you are asking if someone can get pregnant while using this type of birth control, keep in mind that abstinence is the only method of birth control that is 100% effective against pregnancy. With perfect use Depo-Provera is considered to be 99+% effective if used correctly and consistently, but only 97% effective when you consider the typical use of the average woman. So Depo-Provera can be very effective in preventing unwanted pregnancies, however, there is always that possibility that pregnancy might occur.

    You did not say what symptoms you are currently experiencing, but symptoms in early pregnancy can include nausea and vomiting, breast tenderness, constipation, spotting, frequent urination, fatigue, dizziness or fainting, heartburn and possible changes in mood. If you have any concerns that you may be pregnant, or are experiencing any of these symptoms, schedule an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible. If you are pregnant, the sooner you know the better so that you can have time to think about and plan what you would like to do (i.e., abortion, adoption or keep the baby). If you do plan on keeping the baby or giving the baby up for adoption, confirming your pregnancy early on is helpful because you will have more time to ensure that you get your needed prenatal care, as well as time to discuss with your doctor anything that needs to be discontinued for the well-being of the fetus (i.e., birth control or any other possible harmful medications, alcohol/drug use, cigarette smoking).

    I think with anything there is always a chance, but I used to get the depo-shot and stopped taking it because it is bad for you. I would tell your dr to tell you all the side effects, and think about if its worth it. I also think that you can only take if for 3years and then they make you take a break from it.

    Absolutely. I know 2 people who were on regular depo shots for over a year and they both got pregnant. No it wasn't a bad batch - just luck. ALWAYS use a condom!!!!

    Nothing is 100%. There is a slight chance of getting pregnant with any form of birth control.

    NO you cant...i was on depo for years and never got prego...as amatter of fact it took months to get it out of my system so i could

    It is very unlikely that you will get pregnant as it is a means of birth control. However, it is certainly not impossible just very unusualy, so there is about a 99.5% chance that you will not get pregnant.
