Terminated Pregnancy. Taken Depo Shot Just Before Finding Pregnancy. Will Abortion Effect Depo Shot Taken?
Hello, I received the depo shot on August 27th. Shortly after receiving the shot I found out I was pregnant. I believe I got pregnant right before receiving the shot. I decided to terminate the pregnancy and did so on October 4th. My question is because I terminated the pregnancy should I get another depo shot right away. My next shot isn't schedule until November but I wasn't sure if the abortion effected the depo shot I already received in August. I appreciate any help on this topic. Thanks.

Hi and thanks for the query,
I suggest you get a review form a doctor. Getting a shot of your depo at this point in time is the best idea. It is important to know how your system reacts to the depo. You might discuss other contraception options with your doctor. Wishing you the best of health. Kind regards. Feel free asking further questions through this medium.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
No, There is no need of an early depo shot. This should be received at the due date only. Termination of pregnancy will have no effect on its efficacy.
Hope this answers your question.
Wish you best of luck.
