Prego on Depo?

Can someone tell me if it is possible to become pregnant while on Depo? I have gotten all my injections on time, but for the last week or so I have been feeling extremely nauseous for no apparent reason, and now I am quite worried. TIA

Hi Tanya, welcome!

No method of contraception is 100% effective except abstinence, so yes, it is possible to get pg while on Depo. However, it is very, very unlikely! There are a lot of things that can contribute to nausea besides pregnancy and it is far more likely to be one of those that is giving you the problem. A HPT is very accurate 14 days after the event of concern so you might want to test for peace of mind. You might just want to talk with your doctor and get his or her opinion. I hope you're feeling better soon. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck,
