Depro Vera And Risky Behavior - Do I need more Contraception
Posted: 11-06-07 00:30am

my boyfiend and i have been having unprotected sex for a little while now. i got the depro vera shot and have been telling him to deposit inside me. Following this we ususaly leave it in wait a few minutes and continue having sex. Is depro vera going to protect me agiasnt getting pergnat or do i need to do something different. ( we both have been tested and are clean) what is the risk factor of me getting pregnat because i know i will not get my period so how will i know

Your risk is pretty low if you are getting the shot in a timly fashion. I beleive it is 99% effective. And you don't have to worry about forgetting a pill. I'm sure you are just fine. Just a note there are people who have gotten pregnant but most don't.

2 of my friends got pregnant on Depo shot.
1 of my other friends got pregnant on the patch.
Me, I got pregnant on the pill.

Just make sure you get your shots about the same time each time... Like annie said.
