Question
I had a depo shot in November and a month later I found out that I was already pregnant when I had the shot. So I had an abortion on the 18th December, same day I was due for my next shot, so i got the abortion pills in the morning nd in the same afternoon I got the shot, but the abortion process only started late on that same day. Now I am scared to that the shot might not be affective!

Answer
Hello, O.

Can you give me the names of the medication you took? That is, can you give me the brand names? You have said you took the depo shot, so that sort of identifies that one.

It seems unlikely to me that the two would counteract each other. But I am quite concerned that you are taking these powerful and poisonous medications. If you are not married, you are taking a terrible medical risk so your partner can use your body for his own gratification, with no concern about what it will do to you. Not only can such medications kill you, but they can also make you much more susceptible to sexually transmitted diseases, and to certain other diseases such as breast cancer. You can't interfere with how your body functions like that, without paying the consequences.

Other than that, I really do need more information before I can tell you any more.

You might want to give some serious thought to seeing a doctor. If he can examine and test you, you will know a lot more than you do now. Please let me know what happens. Take care.
