    The depo
    Just wondering are you fully protected if you have your shot within the 3 months each time? Or every time u have the shot do you have to use other protection for 7 days? Is there are chance of getting pregnant while on the depo? If so what are the symptoms?

    As this would be very helpful to my situation any feedback would be great. Have asked doctors but not advice given. I think I could be pregnant with baby # 2.

    The depo shot should be given every 12 weeks, not 3 months there is actually a difference.

    No, you do not need to wait to have intercourse after getting the shot if you did get it within the correct time frame.

    Yes, it is still possible to get pregnant on depo. No form of birth control is 100% effective.

    The pregnancy symptoms would be the same on or off the depo.

    Also I have had flutters in my stomach since I had my son just over 12 months ago? Why is this? Ive had flutters every day since giving birth, it is confusing?

    "Flutters" can also be caused by the digestive tract and can be more noticeable once you have actually felt the movements from being pregnant.

    Deebzy,

    You seem to be obsessed with whether you are pregnant. Have you visited your doctor for a blood test and to discuss your concerns?

    If not, I believe it is time for you to do just that.
