Is it possible that my wife can become pregnant if I finish inside every time even if she is on depo provera?

Question

My wife and I have had the desire to become intimate without condoms and I have been cumming inside every time. About a month ago, she recieved the depo shot and we refrained from intercourse to ensure that we were in the clear even though the doctor said it is effective within 24 hours.
Being newlyweds, we both realy enjoy the intimacy and closeness we share with me finishing inside her every time but also have a strong desire to wait until I finish grad school and she is more established in her career to have children.
I've searched around on the web for a dirrect answer, but it appears that the topic is danced around. I have always been under the impression that Depo Provera and other birth control is to allow a man to cumm inside his partner without the fear of conception. The way it sounds on the net is that birth control is an extra barrier of protection, not a free ticket to cumming inside my wife without impregnating her. Someone please help by providing facts!

Answer 1

Maybe you should have learned something about birth control before you began having sex...

Birth Control Pills
How it works: The birth control pill is a combination of synthetic hormones that prevents release of the egg from the ovaries every month. A woman must take a pill every day at the same time.
Effectiveness rate: 97-99%
Common Side Effects: Nausea, slight weight gain or loss, fluid retention, breast tenderness, breakthrough bleeding, and acne. Most mild side effects disappear by the third month of pill usage.
How you can get the birth control pill: Make an appointment for a pelvic exam and pap test. A doctor or nurse practitioner will review your medical history and do your examination to determine the correct birth control pill for you. If you don't have the time or money right now for a complete exam, ask about our delayed pelvic services.
Note: Birth control pills do not protect against sexually-transmitted infections - condoms should also be used!

Depo-Provera
How it works: It is an injection of a synthetic hormone which prevents the release of an egg at ovulation. It also thickens cervical mucus so that sperm cannot join with an already-released egg. The injection must be repeated every twelve weeks.
Effectiveness rate: over 99%
Common side effects: Depo-Provera tends to make a woman's periods less regular and spotting between periods is fairly common. Some women stop having periods completely.
How you can get Depo-Provera: Make an appointment for a pelvic exam and pap test. A pregnancy test will be done at that visit to rule out the possibility of pregnancy. When your next period starts, you will come back for your first injection.
Note: Depo-Provera does not protect against sexually-transmitted infections - condoms should also be used!

Contraceptive Patch
How It Works: The patch is a thin, beige, plastic patch that sticks to the skin. The sticky part of the patch contains the hormones that are found in birth control pills. The patch is applied once a week for three out of four weeks.
Effectiveness rate: 99%
Common Side Effects: Same as birth control pills. Some women experience skin irritation at the patch site.
How you can get the patch: Make an appointment as you would for the birth control pill. If you are using birth control pills now, ask to talk with a clinician about changing to the patch.
Note: The contraceptive patch does not protect against sexually transmitted infections-condoms should also be used!

Contraceptive Vaginal Ring
How It Works: NuvaRing® is a soft flexible ring that contains the same hormones that are found in birth control pills. The ring is inserted into the vagina and left in place for three out of four weeks.
Effectiveness Rate: 99%
Common Side Effects: Minor headache or nausea; possible vaginal irritation and/or increased vaginal discharge.
How you can get the Nuva Ring®: Make an appointment as you would for the birth control pill. If you are now using birth control pills, ask to speak with a clinician about changing to the Nuva Ring®.
Note: Nuva Ring® will not protect you against sexually transmitted infections - condoms should also be used!

Diaphragm, FemCap
How It Works: The diaphragm is a soft rubber cup that is placed into the vagina before intercourse to form a barrier between sperm and the woman's cervix. The FemCap is smaller and latex-free. They also hold a small amount of spermicidal jelly against the cervix to stop any sperm that do get past the barrier from joining an egg.
Effectiveness Rate: 80 - 94%
Common Side Effects: None, if fitted properly. Diaphragm cannot be used if there is an allergy to latex.
How you can get a Diaphragm or FemCap: Make an appointment for a pelvic exam and a diaphragm or FemCap fitting. The doctor or nurse practitioner will check for the right size and will teach you how to use the new device.
Note: Neither the diaphragm nor the FemCap protect against sexually-transmitted infections - condoms should also be used!


IUD
How it works: The intrauterine device (IUD) is a small piece of plastic that contains copper or a natural hormone. It is inserted into the uterus through the cervix and is left in place for several years. Once there, it prevents a fertilized egg from implanting in the wall of the uterus.
Effectiveness rate: 97-99%
Common Side Effects: Some women have longer, heavier periods, and some have cramping. The IUD is not recommended for women who have a history of pelvic inflammatory disease, tubal pregnancies, sexually-transmitted diseases, or abnormal conditions of the cervix, uterus or ovaries.
How you can get an IUD: Make an appointment for a pelvic exam and pap test. A doctor or nurse practitioner will review your medical history and do your examination to determine if you are a candidate for an IUD. You will then return on your period for the insertion.
Note: An IUD does not protect against sexually-transmitted infections - condoms should also be used!

Natural Family Planning
How It Works: Natural Family Planning (NFP), also called "periodic abstinence" or "fertility awareness," is a way for a woman to learn about her own menstrual cycles in order to know when she is ovulating (releasing an egg). By checking your temperature and your cervical mucus every day, you can learn what days you are most likely to get pregnant. NFP can be used by women who are trying to get pregnant, as well as by those who want to prevent pregnancy the most "natural" way.
Effectiveness Rate: 75-99% if you have a regular pattern of periods
Common side effects: None
How you can be taught Natural Family Planning: You can make an appointment to talk with a doctor or nurse practitioner about NFP. They will teach you how to keep track of your periods and physical signs of ovulation.
Note: Natural Family Planning does not protect against sexually-transmitted infections - condoms should also be used!


Condom
How it works: A condom is a thin rubber sheath that is put on the penis before intercourse to keep sperm from joining an egg. Female condoms are larger than male condoms and are placed deep in the woman's vagina before intercourse. Condoms can be used with water based lubricant. Oil based lubricants should not be used because they weaken the latex in the condom, which can cause the condom to break.
Effectiveness rate: For male condoms, 86-98%, depending on whether or not a spermicide is used. For female condoms, 79-95%.
Common side effects: None, unless the user is allergic to latex. Non-latex condoms are available. How you can get condoms: These can be purchased without a prescription at any Planned Parenthood health center or any drug store.
Note: Condoms can and should be used either alone or with other birth control methods to prevent sexually-transmitted infections.


Spermicides
How it works: Spermicides are chemicals that kill or immobilize sperm. They can be in the form of foams, creams, jellies, suppositories, or "films." They are placed deep into the woman's vagina before intercourse to keep sperm from joining an egg.
Effectiveness rate: 72-94%
Common side effects: Spermicides can sometimes irritate the vagina or penis.
How you can get a spermicide: Spermicides can be purchased without a prescription at any Planned Parenthood health center or any drug store.
Note: Spermicides do not protect against sexually-transmitted infections - condoms should also be used!

Answer 2

Well i can tell you that i was on the depo shot for almost 4 years and my husband & i never used condoms. I never got pregnant. I made sure i was always on time to get my shot every 3 months/12 weeks.
After i stopped taking the shot i became pregnant in 11 months.

How effective is Depo-Provera ?

Depo-Provera is highly effective. It works as well as sterilization or Norplant (with less than one pregnancy per 100 users, 99.7% effective). It is more effective than the birth control pill because it is not dependent upon correct daily usage. (Some women get pregnant taking birth control pills if they take pills incorrectly or miss pills.)

Answer 3

Yes she can, all birth control methods can fail. That's why using more then one is better. So if you refuse to use condoms, and only rely on the depo shot, don't be surprised if she becomes pregnant. But yes, it is one of the 'better' methods in my opinion, but still not 100%.

Answer 4

anything is possible i was on the shot for 3 years and i didn't get prego til 3 years after i got of the shot but i know people who got prego on the shot so basically it depends on your wife body

Answer 5

Anything is possible. It won't tell you on the net that it will get you pregnant cause it's really uncommon. But that doesn't mean that it doesn't happen.

Answer 6

Anything is possible ... plus, do you know she is on that? Have you personally seen her do it?

Answer 7

Well I could let you ask my 6 year old lol YES SHE CAN !!!!!!!!!!!
