I was on the depo for about 6 months and havnt gotten my next dose since my last dose ran out about two months ago. My boyfriend and I regularly have sex about once a day and don’t use any condoms. He ejaculates inside me everytime. How much of a chance do I have of being pregnant.

Dear loveablesweetheart,
Have you had a period since the last two months? If so, was it like a normal period like the ones you had before you went on the Depo-Provera shot or was it just a little bleeding? Sometimes it may take longer than 6 months after the last Depo shot before ovulation resumes. And this really varies from girl to girl. Some haven’t had ovulation resume for many months longer while others have had ovulation resume fairly soon after the 6 months ran out.
You’re definitely playing with matches by having unprotected sex every day. You may very well be pregnant. I would strongly urge you to take a home pregnancy test asap and then take a second one a week from today and a third one two weeks from today. And, any sex you have starting today should take place with a condom. Then, once you’re assured that you are not pregnant, it would be best to get started back up on the Depo-Provera shot or a daily birth control pill.
Good luck,
Hannah
I’ve had spotting here and there, but it only last a couple of days. i took a pregnancy test about 3 weeks ago but it came up negative.
Hmmm … well, let’s cross our fingers and hope really hard that the Depo’s lingering results are still lingering. I would still strongly recommend you take the 3 pregnancy tests that I mentioned beginning today through the next couple of weeks (if you got pregnant recently, it takes a while for the hCG that pregnancy tests detect to build up to a detectable level).
Ok thanks for your help. Really appreciate it ((:
Yep, anytime loveablesweetheart :)
I took the Depo shot only one time i was due for my second one on Dec 27 of 2011 but my husband and i decided not to take it because of all the side effects i spotted for about a month i havent bled for about two weeks now we have been having unprotected sex he pulls out but cums on my vagina(sorry for the details) and my nipples have been sore for about a week now and i get dizzy every now and then i doubt that i could be pregnant since i have been reading about other women not being able to get pregnant for a few months but im just curious to know if it can be a possibility
dear Hannah,
I was on the implanon for six months and I had it removed but a week later I started my period and I replaced it with the generic brand of lo estin I stopped taking my pills when I got in the last row. I had my period again on march 21st and have not started my pills I took an ovulation test and it stated that I was ovulating I have been having unprotected sex since before I tested positive for ovulating and still have been having unprotected sex since. Could it be a chance I succeeded in getting pregnant? OH yeah I was only on the pill for less than a month..
