I have irregular periods and my doctor put me on Medroxyprogesterone 10mg for 5 days, during those 5 days I had sexual contact 3 times and didn't use protection. Is there any possibility I can be pregnant?

Hi,
Welcome to ehealthforum,
Pregnancy on Medroxyprogesterone is rare. It inhibits pregnancy in high doses. If the medication was given to you to induce withdrawal bleeding, then the sexual intercourse while being on treatment may not result in pregnancy. For what purpose were you prescribed these tablets?
However, the chances cannot be excluded completely due to uncertainty of your ovulation time. So discuss with your gynecologist about the unprotected intercourse while being on it.
Take care.

Pregnancy while on Medroxypr
I have a question regarding this post.
So if you happened to become pregnant while taking this medication and you still have not had your period, will a pregnancy test give an accurate result? If so, how long after one becomes pregnant?
