switching from Depo to pill
Posted: 01-23-08 03:37am

Ok, I really need some advice here. I just recently (about 5 months ago) switched from Depo to the pill, I started the pill while my depo would have been still active. I know that I'm not going to get my period for a while, fine with me. I was on depo for about 5 years. (my sister was on it also for about the same time and didn't have her period for about 10 months and never got prego until about a year after she stopped using) Anyway, I know my period is supposed to come durring the placebo time. Since I haven't had my period yet, COULD I get prego, when I have sex durring the placebo time? Like I said, I have yet to have my period, I haven't had it since April of 2004 when I went on the depo.

No

Not getting a period isn't a sign that the pill isn't effective, and it's effective during the placebo time.
