yes!


Will you be ok if you're supposed to take your first shot while on your period and you took your first shot 2 weeks after your period and you had sex 3 days after your first shot?

The two reasons you take your first short during your period are that you know you are not pregnant, and the shot prevents you ovulating in your next cycle. The shot can be given later but you should then use a barrier method of contraception for 7 days. This should all have been explained to you by the person giving you the shot. It appears you did not have sex after your period so you were not pregnant but as you had the shot so late in your cycle you would probably have ovulated. You then went on to have sex. YOu would have been unprotected by the shot as your own hormones would have been already activated. The problem is also that while on the shot many women do not have periods so if you do not have your next period it may be because of the shot, or you may indeed be pregnant. All I can suggest is that if you don't have a period when it is due that you wait a week or so and take a pregnancy test. You cannot rely on other signs that you are pregnant as the effects of the shot often mimic those also. Good luck


Do you have periods twice in one month while on Depo-Provera?

I believe you can have a period twicw a month while on the shot. I believe the shot can upset your periods in many different ways. I have been off the shot for almost 10 yrs. now and still have a period every 2 weeks and my periods used to be like clockwork. I only took the shot for about 1 year. I don't trust the Depo Provera shot and would not do it.

Is it possible to get pregnant 8 days after getting the Depo Provera shot I had my period four days after getting the shot so I had sex while on my period. I still haven't gotten my next period?

No its not possible only if you were pregnant before you took the shot. some wome who take the shot don't get a period at all after the shot because of the hormones. It takes you 6-12 months to get a period again after you took the first shop and even longer if you are try to conceive after the shot because even if your 3 monts is up the homone is still in your system.

Birth control is not a 100% way to stop pregnancy and your period makes those chances even worse.
