    No contraceptive method is 100% reliable except abstinence. The depo injection seems to have something like a below 3% failure rate in the first year. (that is, under typical use for a typically active person, etc. will have a below 3% failure rate in the first year of use). With perfect use this falls to somewhere under 0.5%. It is highly reliable compared to other methods.

    So the answer to your question is yes, it's possible.

    LOL, I have 2 sons who were conceived on the pill and one daughter who was conceived on some very heavy hormonal therapy. No, it's not a lie.
