Question
I am a 21 y/o female. i am currenntly on the depo shot. How high are my chances on getting pregnant if me and my husband have sex on a regular basis without protection?

Answer
Hi Andrea,

As long as you keep receiving the shot on time and do not miss appointments, you are protected. It is over 99% effective so your chances of becoming pregnant while on the shot are less than 1%.

I hope this helps. If you have further questions let me know.
