How affective is the Depo Shot?!


Question: How affective is the Depo Shot!?
Sorry for asking this twice :)

Has anyone gotten pregnant while being on the Depo Shot!? I am on my second shot and I am still nervous every time my hubby and I have sex!. I feel like an idiot but I still make him pull out! LOL!. Should I just stop being a worry wart or is it ok to worry about it!? We have a 14 month old together and 3 wonderful step kids so I REALLY don't want anymore kids!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi Depo is extremely effective as a birth control!.

If you are concerned for how your body is accepting the drug--have your doctor do a hormone test to see if your hormones in your blood are at the required levels to not allow for you to get pregnant!.

Plus the drug uses lactose as the vehicle drug to get it into your blood stream--so if you were lactose intolerant prior to taking it--you maybe one of the lucky ones who takes it and is able to eat milk now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i was on the depo and it can make you have some series problems and it can make you Gan Waite you need to read the effect it has on you body it is the worst control ever i take the pill and i do good but you might thank the pills are to hard to keep up with the best thing for you to do is get that v shape thing in you ureters or have a hysterectomy so you no you won't be getting pregnant!. THE DEPO IS THE WORST IT MAST MY BODY UP!!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

The Depo shot is over 99% effective!. If you don't want any more kids, talk to your husband about getting a vasectomy but if he's not comfortable with that, you can see about getting a tubal ligation or an IUD!. Talk to your doctor and see what your options are!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I was on the Depo shot for 10 + years and never used any other birth control and I never got pregnant!. On the other hand, a friend of mine got pregnant while on it!. I wouldn't rely on withdrawing to not get pregnant!. If you are really worried, use condoms!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I used depo for 5 years and no other protection and i never got pregnanat!. so i think you should chill out!. They doc is suppose to give up a prego test every three months any ways!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
