Q: Depo Protection?
asked by: reon83 on April 4th, 2005

Hi, I was wondering if someone in the medical field can answer my question. I had sex with my girlfriend who was currently on the depo shot, which its effectiveness terminated on april 2nd 2005. The dose ended sometime during the day and we had sex at 2:00am april 3rd. Although I didnot use a condom , I did pull out. Is there a possibility that she could get pregnant or would the dose still have an effectiveness for a bit after the proposed date of the actual shot?

The depo is really unreliable as to when it's effectiveness wears off.. Depending on the woman and her natural hormones.. You should have been more carefull although it is unlikely she is preg the possibility is there.. Use other forms of protection till she gets her period back, this can take up to 2 years.. A preg test will give a result in 2-4 weeks but that can also be unreliable.. Mabe the morning after pill..

Hope this helps

I was put on depo and to came off it me and my bf had sex several times after I didnt go back and get my second shot and he came in me but im not pregnant but I guess it all depends on the person and how long it takes to wear off so she shouldnt be pregnant.

Depo
I know each womans different but let me warn you when she wants to come off the injection she may have a lot of trouble with her cycle and trying to get pregnant. It took 6 months for me just to get a period and now there all over the place.
