Depo Question!?
Question:
some expert or personal advice please!
Answers:
It's a small risk but it is possible to still get pregnant. According to my doctor and other studies the effectiveness rate is over 99%. Depo-Provera works because it prevents the release of an egg from the ovary; thus there is nothing to be fertilized by the sperm and a pregnancy cannot occur. Cervical mucus is thickened and it also thins the lining of the uterus, which would make the uterus less hospitable to a fertilized egg should ovulation occur. Thankfully for me I have not gotten pregnant while on depo. I've heard that some birth defects are possible if you do.
She can still get pregnant.
It is highly unlikely, but there is a small chance that she could get pregnant, even on birth control (of any kind). If you don't want to risk it, keep using those condoms.
It is highly unlikely but possible for your girlfriend to get pregnant. I was on it for 3 years and never got pregnant by husband. My friend was conceived after her mom got her tubes tied.
