Some people claim to have gotten pregnant while taking the shot but the same has occured with women on the pill but there's only a slight chance of it happening. Just be consistent with your shots.
Spotting is a known common side effect of the depo shot.

Since no contraceptive is 100% effective, yes women have gotten pregnant on the shot (I know a few on another board who did).
I would IMO get off the shot right away. TOO many women have too many serious health risks due to taking this shot!
Check out http://www.rateitall.com/t-330-birth-control-methods.aspx and google "depo provera lawsuit" (many class action lawsuits going on).
I was on it for four years and I'm so glad I'm off of it.

With continuous use, there is less than a 1% chance of experiencing an accidental pregnancy. This rate assumes that no shots are missed. So, it would be very very slim chance. It is effective 24 hours after your first injection if given in the first 5 days of a normal menstrual period.

the dep. shot messes up your device very badly. I had the dep. shot and had recognizing all the way throughout the time of the three months and that i could not lose any weight or rigidity off of my physique after having a splash one. after the hormones have been getting out of my physique after the three months, I have been given unwell and commenced throwing up lots. I have been given onto the tablet and experience super now, in elementary terms a splash bloating. the shot is a terrible approach of beginning administration
