Chances of pregnancy with deprovera
Posted: 01-29-08 05:43am

Mad my sons girlfriend has just told everyone that shes pregnant- not only pregnant but five months gone. she says she was on the deprovera injection, and i dont believe her. she says she only ever had the one, but is it even possible? she says she got her first injection on the 2nd of august, went back on the 2nd of november- and wala- they found out then...now i dont even know if her dates are even possible? i've never had the injection so i dont know how it works. i want to approach her with this but i dont have the relevant information?

I guess it could be possible if it was the first week or so of the shot. But I don't understand how they would know she was pregnant unless she was late for her next shot. In which they have to do a test before they can give the next shot. I don't know I guess I would be talking to her and her parents. The shot is very effective but it can happen

Any form of birth control is not 100%!!!!

Yeah, she could have lied about being on birth control, but hey, there are bigger problems now. It's too late to place the blame. Your son is just as much to blame as she is. He could have used a condom.

Now, move on and worry about this baby! Your grandchild.

The dates sound about right, you get the shot every three months.

But does it matter anymore? I don't think so.

Yeah, those dates sound right. She must have gotten pregnant within the first week of the first shot, if you think about it: that was a little over five months ago. And that is completely possible.

As others have said, no birth control is 100%. She HAD to have gotten pregnant in August.

Right now, you have bigger fish to fry. 5 months... that's 20 weeks. This girl is too far along for a voluntary abortion, so she's left with adoption or keeping it. You WILL have a grandchild.
