Question
I just stopped Depo Provera Aug 31st, then I started Ortho Tri Cyclen Sept 9th, accidental unprotected sex sept. 10th can I get pregnant?

Answer
Hello Jessica,

Thanks for your question. It's possible that you could get pregnant but it depends on whether the depo was protecting you or how long had it been since your last shot. Have you had any pregnancy symptoms yet? If you miss your next period, you should have a pregnancy test. You can find a local pregnancy resource center to have a free test. Go to http://www.optionline.org or call 1-800-395-HELP. If you don't live in the U.S. then go to http://www.heartbeatinternational.org/worldwide_directory.asp
