Louise Wolmarans Louise answered

I am on the injection not to fall pregnant. But I forgot twice to go for the injection on-time. I was late for the injection at the Clinic 2 weeks and then again 1 week. I have picked up 17 kilo's. Can I be pregnant. How do the suster at the clinic know if I was preganant because I was late for 2 injections

Yes, there are some chances of pregnancy during the use of depot shots that you are mentioning. Success and failure rate of any contraceptive method is measured in terms of pearl index. All depot shots have a pearl index of 0.1%. So, there are some chances of pregnancy during use of these shots. These chances are bit higher during initial few months of and then decline as the time passes and hormones accumulate in the blood and peripheral effects also start to establish.
