I was on the depo shot for almost 4 years and had sex all the time with my husband and did i get pregnant while on the shot? NO
I do not know anyone who has gotten pregnant on the shot.
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.)

If you are having sex, regardless of the type of birth control you use, there is always a chance you'll get pregnant. But on depo, I think the chances are something like 1-2/1,000.

Very unlikely to get pregnant on the depo shot, but anything is possible. It is 99% effective if given when recommended. Stay according to schedule for better efficacy.

Oh you betcha! My mother got pregnant with both my sisters taking depo for health reasons. I took depo after I had my first daughter 4 years ago, but apparently I was still ovulating. Don't ask me how cause I don't know. But my mother definitely proved it. Mind you it is rare, but entirely possible

it depends on the womens body, many women have problems with depo but i dont'. had my 1 baby went on depo for 3 years then had second baby although it did take four to five months to get pregnant, went on again and now third baby and on again, i've had no problems.

If used properly, it's 99% effective. There's always that 1% chance that you could get pregnant.

Nothing is 100% except abstinence. You can even get pregnant after tubal ligatons.
