What Is The Side Effect Depo Provera In Case Of Pregnancy?
Dear Doctor, I was suppose to take a short of depo provera on the 18th of december, but I didnt, then I copulated with my a hubby on the 30th of dec. I had a blood test to confirm if i m pregnant on the 5th of jan...the test was NEGATIVE.. so i went ahead to take the depo on 7th of jan. QUESTION: Assuming I found out later that i m pregnant, what is/are the effects of the depo on my baby?? Your kind response will be appreciated.

Hi,
If you get pregnant while using Depo Provera, and decide to continue with your pregnancy, the chance of having an abnormal baby is not increased. I would suggest you to stop taking further shots of Depo injection when your pregnancy test is positive and continue the pregnancy.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
