advice
My friend went on the Depo shot sometime around the middle of March and lost her virginity (unprotected) maybe a couple weeks after that. Thing is, she hasn't started her period yet. It's now nearly 7 weeks later and she's scared. The only time she's bled on the shot is after having sex. She has only had PROTECTED sex once of twice but has had unprotected sex many times. She says she's not going to worry about it but I can tell she is and I don't know what to tell her. Is it normal for her not to spot or start her period or is this something she should see her doctor about or take a test for? Please help, I rate high! Thank you.
I definitely think that your friend should take a pregnancy test. If you can tell shes worried about it that most likely means she is. Tell her to buy a pregnancy test or go with her to buy it.
If she is pregnant, tell her to see a doctor or go to a local Planned Pregnancy.
If she isn't pregnant, she should still go see a doctor because she might have a hormone imbalance or something else thats causing her period to be very late. Also, remind her not to have unprotected sex again.
Hope this helps!
AFTER FEEDBACK:
the depo shot prevents eggs from leaving the ovaries, but like all birth control, its not 100% positive that it will prevent pregnancy.
another reason she may not have her period is that if its still within and year/2 years of having her period, it could just be that its irregular.
(Rating: 4) Even if she was on the Depo shot for a couple weeks? Because she said he doctor said to wait a week before having unprotected sex but my other friend is on the shot too and her doctor said wait at least a month.
