    I would say yes as anything is possible, although saying that depo is one of the strongest forms of contraception out there as you will see from other posts many women that have the shot have terrible trouble conceiving because it basically stops your body releasing eggs.
    So it is highly unlikely but there's still a possibility its most definitely the one form of contraception we are offered that does its job very well but also does some pretty crazy things to your body, if you aren't aware of the side effects I suggest you ask your nurse for the information leaflet.

    I actually just posted a question about this cause I couldn't find any answers through my online research. I finally broke down and called my dr. She told me that as long as you are continuing to have normal periods while on Depo you are still ovulating and you can still get pregnant. So the question goes to... are you still having normal periods?

    You can still get pregnant on any birth control, none of them are 100% effective.
