Yes, it is possible. The Depo injection is 99% effective, but there is always that small 1% chance that you could become pregnant while on it. However, most women who have gotten pregnant while on the depo injection is because they waited too long to get their next depo injection so it was no longer effective. If you are on this type of Birth Control, remember to get your shots on time. Also remember that while the shot helps prevent pregnancy, it does not protect against STDs in any way.

You currently missed your depo injection and your nurse gave you a pregnancy test and it came back positive is that possible?
Yes, you can get pregnant even if using Depo Provera perfectly, although the risk is very low. If you miss your injection, you could get pregnant more easily.
Can you become pregnant while on the shot but you don't get it as often?
If you are not getting your Depo Provera injection at least every 13 to 15 weeks, you could get pregnant.
Can a girl get pregnant if she skips a Depo-Provera injection and has her period?
Yes
If you do not take Depo-Provera at the correct time will it still work towards preventing pregnancy?
There's a range of time to get your next injection in order to have continuous protection from depo provera . If you get the next injection later than this range, you could get pregnant.
I was on the depo for 3 months and still had my period. I missed an injection and my period hasn't come. what does that mean?
You could be pregnant. Take a test.

No there is not an injection to cancel the depo injection you have o wait out the whole 12 weeks.After the injection wheres off it may take up to 12 months even loger for your menstrual cycle to come back and for you to fall pregnant.
On the depo shot you got pregnant?
I was on depo for 3 years and I got the same answer from doctors "it could take 9 to 18 months to get pregnant" They were wrong I went off of depo in January and was pregnant by April. Good luck
Could you be pregnant if your on Depo Vera?
Possibility
Why do you have to have a period before having the depo injection?
You do not need to have the Depo Provera injection during menstruation. The health care provider should be able to advise you about when you should get the injection. If you have a negative pregnancy test, and can commit to retesting for pregnancy in three weeks, there's no reason that you shouldn't get Depo Provera that day.
If you take depo and must get a shot every 3 months why continue the injection if it takes up to 10 months to get pregnant?
Because you COULD get pregnant after 3 months and 1 day. I got pregnant 2 weeks after stopping the depo and switching to the pill. Everyone is different. I know of women who have been off the shot for years and still havent gotten pregnant.
