Can you get pregnant on the depo?

Question

I'm curious if you can get pregnant on the depo if you take the shot for the first time while ovulating and have sex the next day with no protection?

Answer

Proof right here you can get pregnant on the depo shot!!! Lol I was on it for over a year and at one appointment all of a sudden the pregnancy test they do EVERYTIME said pregnant !

Answer

The shot takes about a week or so to fully become active by what I've been told by a doctor.

Answer

I didn't know that I had to wait. The doctor never told me.

Answer

Oh my. Because I did not wait for it to get in my system. I gotten the shot after I ovulated already ready and had sex less than 24 hours and now I have no period.

Answer

Yeah, you can. My mom got pregnant with me on the shot 😁😂

Answer

I'm a L&D nurse.....I've seen women get pregnant on just about every form of birth control!

Answer

My mom was a month and a half into her 3 month shot AND breastfeeding when she got pregnant with my little brother, always possible!

Answer

Girl you have to wait for the shot to begin working in your body..

Answer

If you have sex immediately with any hormonal bc there's the possibility of pregnancy, you need to give it at least a week to get into your system.
