Depo Shot Missed & Potential Pregnancy: What You Need to Know


Question
Hi, I'm a 23yr old and I was on the depo shot for maybe 6 months, and I haven't been in tho get my following shot, it's been about a month in a half since I had the shot. I was wondering if me and my boyfriend had unpretected sex, would their be a posibility that I could be pregnant. I have been having wierd feelings, irregular bow movements, and having to urinate a lot.

Answer
Jasmine,

Yes, if you don't follow up with your Depo shot, you have a chance of getting pregnant.  You should use other means of birth control until you continue the Depo.  You might want to take a home pregnancy test if you are concerned that you are pregnant.  I recommend "First Response".  Good luck!
