I was on the depo for 3 months and still had my period. missed an injection period come. what does that mean?

Missing a Depo injection

Missing a Depo injection can reduce its effectiveness in preventing pregnancy. The longer you go without getting your injection, the greater your risk of becoming pregnant.

Risk of pregnancy

If you are still within the first 7 days after your injection was due, you are still considered protected against pregnancy. However, if you are more than 7 days late for your injection, you may be at risk of pregnancy.

Symptoms of pregnancy

If you are concerned that you may be pregnant, some early signs and symptoms of pregnancy include:

* Missed period

* Nausea or vomiting

* Fatigue

* Breast tenderness

* Bloating

* Mood swings

What to do if you think you are pregnant

If you think you might be pregnant, it is important to see a doctor or nurse as soon as possible to confirm your pregnancy and discuss your options.
