Is Pregnancy Possible While On Depo Shot?
Question: can I become pregnant on the depo shot if I get it 10 day before ovulation and have unprotected sex on the day I ovulated?
Brief Answer:
Low chance of pregnancy.
Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,
Thanks for writing to us. Followings are my comments:
Depo-shot starts working within 24 hours of the first shot if injected within 5 days of beginning a period.
For typical users, approximately 3 out of every 100 women using Depo-shot will experience an accidental pregnancy in the first year.
In this case, your chance of pregnancy is LOW but it needs to be confirmed by doing one home pregnancy test if you miss next period.
Hope, I have answered your query. Practice safe sex and take care.
For future query, you can directly approach me through

Okay I got the shot 1 day before ovulation and I'm not expecting my period around this time I was actually expecting my period on the 19th and never cam and on the 24th I had some odd bleeding that last less then a day and it was very dried up with mucous and today I checked my cervix for the heck of it and it was very low in my vigina and firm as well as closed up and when I took my firmer out there was some blood. However after my shower I checked it again just to be sure and it was high up and soft and closed but still saw some blood on my fingers.
Brief Answer:
Need some additional info.

Hello Dear.
Welcome back again.
Just make me clear some point.
1) When did you get the Depo shot? - 1 day or 10 days before ovulation?
2) What was your last date of period? Does your cycle regular or irregular?
3) When did you involve in unprotected sex according to cycle date? Did your partner ejaculate inside vagina?
Awaiting for your earliest response for better suggestion.

1 day before ovulation March 3rd, February 15 regular 26 day cycle on March 3 through too March 10 I had unprotected sex and my bf cam inside of my vigina
Brief Answer:
Do one home pregnancy test.
Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,
Thanks for updated information.
If your last period date was February 15 and cycle length is 26 days, then you ovulated around 27th February as ovulation occurs approx 14 days prior to next due date.
As per above calculation, March 3rd is NOT your ovulation day. Just make it clear properly.
In my point of view, if you involved in unprotected sex from 3rd to 10th March, then you have LOW chance of pregnancy irrespective of Depo-Shot as you had taken on 3rd March (NOT much effective in prevention of pregnancy).
Here, I suggest you to undergo one home pregnancy test to be sure. Review with test result for next suggestion.
Hope, it helps for your information. Good luck and take care.
