Am I protected after Depo shot and unprotected sex?

I'm on the depo shot and had unprotected intercourse on Saturday and Sunday, am I still protected from pregnancy?

1 Answer
Dr. Mohit Saraogi

Gynecologist/Obstetrician

Answered on 23rd July '24

The­ Depo shot prevents pre­gnancy. It blocks ovulation, so no eggs come out. Also, it thickens ce­rvical mucus, making it harder for sperm to reach an e­gg. If you had unprotected sex afte­r the shot, you're still protecte­d from pregnancy. But remembe­r, the Depo shot doesn't prote­ct against sexually transmitted infections.

Hello doctor. Me and my partner didn’t had sex. On July 4, gave him oral. His pre cum got onto my lips. Kissed him on his hips with his pre cum. And then he went down on me. Is it possible to get pregnant like that? Or even if he has touched his penis with a little bit of pre cum and fingered me after 1-1.5 hours of doing so? I took emergency contraceptive under 48 hours. And I drank 2 glasses of ginger water one day before taking it and also 5 hours before taking it. And early morning before taking the pill on July 5, I saw some light bleeding in my vagina and thought it was ovulation bleeding because I don’t have such light periods. And I’ve irregular periods. ( I’m not sure if it was my periods ) so there are chances that I took the unwanted 72 pill on the first day or 1-2 days before my periods were due. And after 14-15 hours of taking the pill, I started bleeding heavily (more than spotting and less than periods) . The bleeding was enough to use a pad. Can withdrawal bleeding start this early ? Just after 14-15 hours of taking the pill? Or is it my periods triggering early because I took the pill maybe near my due date or on my due date? On 6th July morning, I drank one more glass of ginger water , and in the evening my body temperature fluctuated between 99.3 at 5pm to 98.7 at 8pm and 97.6 at 11pm . My heartbeat also gets fast sometimes. Is it because of the stress? Or hormonal changes? Today is July 7th, more than 48 hours gone after taking the pill. And in the morning , I was feeling dizzy , tired and weakness. I slept again and woke up at 3pm. I am still feeling tired but that maybe because I slept so much. I’m still bleeding heavily. But it’s lesser than my normal periods. Could this be my periods only? But less heavier? Or is it withdrawal bleeding? Am I pregnancy safe? I’m really worried!

Hey doc started my periods early this month on date 17 and ended up on 20th then on had unprotected sex on 22nd am I safe

Female | 19

The 17th starting and the 20th ending period is a pretty normal cycle. Having unprotected sex on the 22nd might expose you to the risk of getting pregnant. So, watch for possible symptoms like nausea, fatigue, and breast tenderness. If you're concerned, think about using emergency contraception or taking a pregnancy test.

I have too small belly in 17 week of pregnancy

Female | 20

Toward the middle of the pregnancy, a smaller belly at 17 weeks might trouble you. If a belly is small, it can be because of the baby’s position, the way your body is holding the baby, or many other reasons. In the majority of cases, it's not a big deal when your health conditions are within normal limits. Continue to eat well and go to all of your pregnancy medical check-ins to ensure that you and your baby are healthy.

Hello dr my name is dhruvisha Katariya. I am 20 year old. I had sex with my partner a day ago. We also used protection. Now my period date It has come. But my periods have not come.

Female | 20

It's completely normal for periods to be late sometimes even if you have used protection. Common causes could be stress, a change in routine, or hormonal imbalance. If you are concerned, wait a few more days and then take a home pregnancy test. Remember that irregular periods can happen but it is always good to get checked out just in case.

Why do my opening vagina itch with white discharge

Female | 23

You might have a yeast infection. These are a type of infection that can be found in the vagina which begin to get itchy after a while and might emit white discharge. In some women, an imbalance of yeast can lead to an overgrowth where the vagina becomes too acidic. This is what happens when your vagina has too much yeast in it. You can purchase over-the-counter antifungal creams to help respond to yeast infections.

I am breastfeeding and feeling often tired pain in arms legs and nipples are sore because baby is biting

Female | 30

You might face normal bre­astfeeding troubles. Fe­eling drained, achy arms and legs, nipple­s hurting - it happens when your baby bites while­ feeding. Babies bite­ during teething. Offer a te­ething toy first to soothe baby's gums. Try changing your breastfe­eding position to reduce nipple­ pain. Ensure proper latch to avoid discomfort.

I have pain in lower abdomen in centre

Female | 13

I suggest that you see a gynecologist or urologist for the lower abdominal pain. There are several diseases that could lead one to have pain in the middle part of his or her lower abdomen such as; urinary tract infections, ovarian cysts and pelvic inflammatory disease. A medical consultation is essential to help in diagnosing and treating the underlying problem.
