Well how late are you getting to your appointment? The health department told me that if i was late getting the shot the most late i could be would be 14 weeks in between shots.
I was on the depo shot for almost 4 years and once i stopped taking it i became pregnant in 11 months. I do not know anyone who was on the shot that got pregnant right away not saying that it can't happen.
You should go to the doctor/health department get a pregnancy test and get back on the shot right away.
The injection should be repeated every three months (12 weeks) as long as birth control protection is wanted. If an injection is late or missed, pregnancy can occur.
It typically takes 9 to 10 months to become pregnant after you stop taking Depo-Provera as a contraceptive. It could even take up to 24 months after discontinuing use of Depo-Provera for you to become pregnant. The length of time you use Depo-Provera has no effect on how long it takes you to become pregnant.

Anytime that you have unprotected sex theres a chance u could be pregnant. Even when u ARE using protection- sometimes it can fail and u end up pregnant anyway! Make an appointment at a free clinic or get a home pregnancy test. If you arent- be sure to be much more careful! Condoms as well as the shot gives u double protection. Its also very very sad that your dad is still living in the past and doesnt accept others as they are! Good luck to u.

Anytime you have unprotected sex, there is a possibility of pregnancy among many other things. If you are on the depo shot I am sure you are well aware of this, seeing as though you must go to a doctor to get the shot. I reccommend you get the advice of your doctor. Good luck with everything.

Yes, it is possible to get pregnant while not on the birth control shot... Because it's only been 2 days I highly recommend (unless you want to be pregnant) to see your doctor Immediately!!! As in TODAY!! to get the morning after pill (PLAN B) It's a safe way to clear yourself of the possibility of an unwanted pregnancy. But should not be used as an everyday birth control method good luck!!

the first thing i would do is wait to see if you are pregnant. there is no need to stress your self out over somehting that you dont even know is true or not. i would start but doing a pregnancy test. if it is positive then you have some decisions to make. just so that you know you can take a day after pill (with in 72h of having sex) if you are not ready to have a baby then you should not have sex.

IM SORRY TO TELL YOU BUT YOU ARE PREGNANT! my depo shot expired on a Friday and I was going to get another on Monday I had sex that saturday and when I did a 24hr pregnancy test I was pregnant so make your choice now of what you're going to do!

It's possible, but it's only been 3 days. You'd have to wait a month or so until you know. Don't say anything to anyone until you know for sure. If you're ashamed of sleeping with this guy, then I'd suggest you cut off the ties.

OF COURSE
The only way to absolutely NOT GET PREGNANT is not to have sex.
Abstenance is the only thing that is 100% safe.
You should have used protection...that was stupid.
You aren't only risking pregnancy...you're also risking your life...hello?? Have you ever heard of AIDS?
All you can do is stick it out and take a pregnancy test in a few weeks.
Good luck...and next time...use the brain god gave you...and use protection or keep your clothes on.

maybe u should confirm you are pregnant before telling everyone. buy a test. You may be or may not..the shot really screws with your period. I think planned parenthood will test you for free or really cheap when you are a teenager.

Well, if you haven't had your period for a while you might. If your belly gets big, you know you' re pregnant. I hope you're not so you don't get in trouble.
