The contraceptive effect of the Depo-Provera shot Posted: 03-15-06 07:24am
I starting to have depo-provera injection
last June, then i had my second one in
August. I was due to have another one in
October but did'nt due to wanting to try
for a baby with my Husband. I stil have
not had a period but for the past two
weeks my breasts have been really sore and
tender is there a chance of me being
pregnant even if i have not had a
period?
Yes, there is a chance that you are
pregnant ; so I recommend you take a
pregnancy test. The contraceptive effect
of the last shot in August should have
expired, so there is a possibility that
you can conceive. The contraceptive effect
of one depo-provera shot lasts about 3-6
months.
