Why do women get pregnant on the depo shot?!


Question: Why do women get pregnant on the depo shot?
Im 19 about to make 20 in July. Ive never had sex or taken birth control before. Im not good with remembering to take the birth control pill so Im thinking about taking the depo shot. Im not worried about the weight gain because I know the change in appetite is what causes the weight gain just like the pill. Ive been reading alot about women getting pregnant on the shot but I was thinking that they were either already pregnant before taking the shot or have had sex before the body got used to the hormones in the shot. I want to take the shots at least a half a year before having sex @ all. Do you think I would still have a big chance of becoming pregnant? And I know nothing is 100% effective while sexually active.

Answers:

As you said, no methods are 100% effective and all have some side effects.
With the shot, I have heard more frequently of women getting pregnant on it than on the pill. Most doctors recommend still using a condom to further decrease your chances of conceiving a child. I wouldn't say you have a BIG chance, but the women who got pregnant were not pregnant before. It occurred while on the shot, because nothing can be 100% effective.



yell go to whepidea and type it in do lots of checking on it. and a good motto to keep is tell him no glove no love ,and keep some condoms on hand as u can get them anywhere. if he cares he he will wear it.good luck .you sure don't want to start changeing dipers do you?
