Could i get pregnant if a day late for getting the depo shot? I have been on depo for two years. My bf and I had unprotected sex. I was due for my depo February 28 2014  and had unprotected sex on March 1 2014.  My bf didnt ejaculate inside of me at all. Im not trying to conceive and will be getting the shot In two days or so. Am I still protected by the depo shot? Could I be pregnant?
Hi, Thanks for the query. I am Chat Doctor Badge consultant gynecologist and will be answering your queries. You have said in your heading that you will be just one day late but since you had sex on 1st and will be taking the shot 2 days later, it seems that the delay is more than a day. A difference of 1 or 2 days does not make much difference. You were protected on 1st as ovulation will occur only after the effect of the shot was over meaning after 28, and it usually does not occur on the first day. Still I recommend that you take the shot as soon as possible and use another backup method like condom from now up to seven days after taking the shot to ensure complete protection against pregnancy. Pregnancy can be ruled out by a urine test 3 weeks after the suspected unprotected sexual episode. Hope this answered your query. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Have a good day.
