If I had sex right before starting an antibiotic treatment and im on the depo shot could it still have affected my chances of avoiding pregnancy?

I'm still not entirely sure that antibiotics affect the depo shot. I'm sure you are fine, since the chances of you ovulating immediately after taking antibiotics are pretty slim even if they did affect the depo.

Call your doctor or gyno to confirm that and ask if there's anything you can do now-- then let me know what they say!

Did you tell your doctor you were on the depo? Did they warn you about changes in effectiveness?
