Answer 1

No it's fine, as long as you got your second shot less than 14 weeks after your first one, you should not be pregnant. It is a VERY effective form of BC if you always get it on time. Actually, a lot of the time it takes a women a YEAR for fertility to return after she has stopped taking the shot. With ANY BC there is a SLIM chance of pregnancy, but in your case, I wouldn't worry about it. I was on the shot for nine months and didn't get pregnant. But a lot of things really suck about the shot, so I quit getting it.
