has anyone ever gotten preg. after they got off depo and before they got their first period? I know that getting off depo can take a while to start getting your periods, but my question is that after you are off of depo say like for a month but you still haven't received your period and you have unprotected sex could you still get preg. I have been off my depo shot since sept 9th and i never got my first period ( i know it could take a while to get it) but i had unprotected sex on oct 3rd, is there a possibly i could be preg? and has anyone ever been in this situation?


thanks

Yes,

My son was conceived after I discontinued Depo. I was only on it for 6 months and had no periods while I was on it for for 1 year after. After I stopped Depo I used a diaphram and after 1 year became pregnant without ever having a period.

how did you find out you were preg? did you just start feeling wierd and got it checked out? so after you got off depo and you didn't have a period you still conceived your son.so then i could get preg. even if i didn't have a period yet huh.

A true period can't happen without ovulation. So yes you can definitely get pregnant before a period.

I was more than 3 months pregnant before I realized something was 'wrong' and a test confirmed pregnancy. I had to have ultrasounds to determine approximately when I became pregnant and to get an due date.
