I have never gotten pregnant while on the
shot. I've had symptoms a couple times,
but they were b/c of the mix of hormones,
I was on other meds at the times. I've
known one person that got pregnant on the
shot, she was the type to embelish though
so I really don't know if it was the
truth.

Okay, at risk of making myself sound
horrible, i'm going to divulge this. I
got on the shot at the age of 17 and was
on it until shortly after I turned 19.
During that time, I had a steady boyfriend
and we never used a condom, I would bleed
during the last few days at the end of
each shot, and I never got pregnant.
After I got off the shot I started my
period 7 months later, and got pregnant
two months after I started. After I had
my daughter I got back on the shot and
have been on it since, so that's nearly
four years and I have never gotten
pregnant. I still spot every now and
then, and usually when my shot is due.
There was a short time where I was off the
shot in the last four years, I didn't get
pregnant at that time either (no I didn't
use any other type of protection).

Oh, I have to tell ya' this too. I was
unemployed and w/o insurance for like 7
months so I couldn't get the shot. I got
pregnant during that time, but I
miscarried, I had been shot free for 6
months at the time of conception.
