I am on the provera substitute the pill i mean and not the shot. And yes we had sex twice and both the time with no protection as we got confused with 'Depo-Provera' which is a birth control option.
I am so scared as my baby is only 10 months now...and we were not so much planning for another baby now...we hoped to plan another one atleast 4 years later.
I am still on the medicine and it has still 4 more days to finish it....my question is now can you tell me as to when would i be able to check whether i am pregnant ? will it be after it finish the course and don't get my periods back? or any time limit..like may be 2 week later? plzzz help!

If you were using no other protection besides Provera, it's possible you could be pregnant, I got pregnant while on the pill, so things happen! And I just looked up Provera harming the baby and I found this;

If I become pregnant on the pill or on Provera will it harm my baby?
The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology has done studies to prove that the pill does not cause fetal abnormalities if taken during pregnancy. Of course, you should stop taking the pill as soon as possible when you find out you are pregnant. for Provera, some health care providers will give you a pregnancy test before your Provera shot. If you suspect you have become pregnant while on Provera, you should go back to your clinician for a pregnancy test as soon as possible.

Hope this helps, good luck to you and let me know how it turns out!
