How Long Will Petogen Stay In The Body As Protection From Pregnancy?

Hi I have been on petogen for a year now after giving birth in march 2013. My last injection was scheduled for 07-05-2014 and i did not go. I have then had unprotected sex. Could i be pregnant? or is the contraceptive still in my system? How long will it stay in my system before i can fall preggies again? Best regards Lee

Hi Lee,
How are you doing ?
Petogen is a depot preparation , which if taken for duration as 1 yr may stay for 4-6 mths after stopping. But a better way to know if the hormone levels are normal is , if you get periods the hormones are normal. But this is not definitive, you can get pregnant even before you have periods .
But after 3-4 mths of last injection the chances of pregnancy graduallu increases & by 6 mths the hormone is mostly gone.
Hope I have clarified your queries, do write back if any more queries
All the best
