Q: Likelihood of being pregnant

asked by: DoctorQuestion on January 27th, 2009

I was on depo provera for 11 months and just got off it 4 weeks ago. While on the shot I would start spotting 4-6 weeks before my next shot was due and continue to spot until a day or 2 after shot was receive. Before my last shot which i didnt get dec.29th, i stopped spotting 1 week before and havent been spotting and I havent received a period. Im just wondering if theres anyway I could be pregnant?

There is always a chance that you are pregnant but a very small one, in your case. You could perform a pregnancy test to solve the mystery.
