Question
while on Depo do you still have to use condoms because there's a pretty good chance you can still get pregnant?

Answer
Hello..
I emailed you back right away, I think on Dec. 29th and haven't heard back from you. Please let me know if you received the following email.

Hi Sharron,
I like your name. Anyway, I just want you to know that I'm not a medical doctor so please check with your own physician. I don't have the exact statistics on the depo provera shot but no birth control method is exactly 100% prevention from pregnancy. You could use 2 methods just to be sure. The only methods I recommend are abstinence, condoms, or Natural Family Planning. These are the only methods that are healthy in my opinion. They don't put hormones into your body. Do you have any side effects from the depo? Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and talk more.
