You are supposed to use condoms for atleast 2 weeks after the very first shot. It takes that long for the shot to spread through your tissues. Since it takes 12 weeks for the shot to stop working I would see a Dr asap as getting pregnant while on this form of contraceptive has been linked to miscarriage and birth defects.
I have heard countless stories of women on birth control who got pregnant. Nothing is 100%. I took the plan b pill the day I had sex and here I am almost 6 months later pregnant. All I can tell you will depo is prepare to put on some weight, becauss that shot made me gain alot.
I was on depo for 5 years and didnt get pregnant but after your first shot the doctor should have told you how long to wait which is usually after the first period.
The shot takes time to release , they told me not to have sex for at least a week. You could get pregnant, I know three people who got pregnant on the shot.
Well I only had like a light bleeding for 2 weeks after having my baby and around week 4 I started bleeding agian and it was a whole lot more and it was bright red not like how it looked my first 2 weeks pp .. I told my doc on thursday and she said that could have been my period it only lasted for about 4-5 days ... Im still not sure if that was 100% my period but it definitely was alot more and really red than how it looked b4 ...
Did you get your period back after having your baby?
I got pregnant on depo 11 days later
Yes this was my very first time ! Im getting scared now our baby is just 5 weeks old
No birth control is 100% so I mean I guess even a 1% chance is a chance. Was this your very first shot? I was only on it not even a year and we would use condoms or he would pull out. Other than that I've never done birth control.
