Is it safe to have unprotected sex when switching over to patches from depo shot which caused missed periods?
Patient: Hey I ve been on the depo shot for about 3 years and decided to switch to the patch it seemed much more manable. How everI have not had my period for 2 years due to the depo and now I m on my third week which is the week I should not wear the patch but if my period does not come down can I have unprotected sex ? Doctor: If you are continously taking depot snd then patch without having your periods then most likely you are not ovulating .....and if you have any sex in the period mentioned then there is negligible chance of pregnsncy because that is your immediate premenstrual phase where there is no chsnce of conception. ...so you can have intercourse during that period but remember to take the patch on once period starts
