:confused: :nervous: I'm on birth control shots have already had 4 and was wondering. My boyfriend and I have recently had sex using the pull out method. I know there is a possibility of still gettin pregnant but I'm on the shot and use the pull out method what do you think are the chances I'll still get pregnant? I've only done it once we used condoms till I discovered how good it felt. Now I'm not so sure I wanna use them again I need advice. I'm terrified of gettin pregnant.:crying:

    Depo, if taken correctly, is 97-99% effective after the first 24 hours. The likleyhood of you being pregnant is quite slim. Many women use only one form of birth control. However, if it causes you this much stress and anxiety, a second form of contraception may be worth considering.

    Shot, is pretty effective. If you are worried about your contraception method, I recommend you go and have a chat with the person administering your shot, they should be able to either put your mind at rest over the efficacy or give you instructions on further measures you can take.

    this might not really be irrelevant to your question but i have been having sex constantly for 6 months, almost 5 out 7 days a week and we have never used a condom and he has always came inside me and i have never had the pill or any sort of birth control, is it weird that i am not pregnant, not that we are trying ? but it does make me question whether am fertile or not :confused: ?????

    If you're regularly having sex with no contraception you are actively trying.
