Hello everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone knows the likelyhood of getting pregnant if you were on depo for a long period of time and were late taking a shot (by a week), and had some bleeding.I would gladly appreciate anyones comments or information, thanks for your time

Sincerly

Hi, I'm no expert but from what i have read you should get the shot every 12 weeks but no longer than 13 weeks. So I think your ok. but i'm still no expert. hope this helps

Hi sara78butterfly,

I think your risk is probably small but no one can say exactly what it might be. Your bleeding is a sign that the effects of the progestin were changing. In your favor (in this instance) is that some women have a delay in returning to fertility after Depo. You are probably ok but it's not a good idea to be late getting your shot. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck,
