Well I have been taking the depo provera
shot for 6 months, but I am a little over
two weeks late on getting my last shot.
Two days after I was supposed to get it I
had unprotected sex then started my
period. Then two days after my period I
had unprotected sex again. I wanted to
know if it is possible that I could be
pregnant or was the shot still effective
at those times. I'm scared and I need
someone help and advice. Can you help
me? Thanks.

I'm on the shot and I think they give you
the shot 2 weeks ahead of time, just for
safety reasons such as this. Yeah, that
must be it because I am do for my 5th shot
in one year and that wouldn't be possible
if they didn't give it to you earlier than
you were actually due. You should be
fine, but take a test to be sure.

Yeah.. I would say it could go either
way. There's no guaruntee if you don't
get the shot on time. I would ask your
doctor or the nurse to see what they say
because if there's a potential for you to
be pregnant they may not want you to take
your next shot... However from everything
I read I hear that it takes at least 6
months for most people (not all) to get
back to a regular cycle where they can get
pregnant after being on the shot. So I
wouldn't panic, but I agree you might want
to take a test anyway.
