Question
my due date for my depo was june 24 i didn't took it then i think it was june 30 can i get pregant like that
Hi Latoya,
If you are 2 or more weeks late in getting your shot, the doctor will usually have you take a pregnancy test if you has sex during those weeks. You should also use a back-up method (such as a condom) for 2 weeks after the shot. Since it is now 2 months after you received the shot, the depo is working as usual and you are protected.
I hope this helps. If you have further questions, let me know.
