Maybe give some free advice about: General Sex Questions?
TheRe aRe no guaRantees in life - nothing is eveR 100% safe; and anything is possible. If you know you'll be engaging in sexual inteRcouRse... USE CONDOMS!!!! If not to pRevent PREGNANCY.. then to pRevent STD's and AIDS. Hope this helps?? :)

nothings a 100 % safe but its very unlikely you'll get pregnant the injection is 98% affective leaving you with a 2% change of getting pregnant

it's not 100 it's more like 98%. so yea you can still get pregnant cuz my sister did

Well, I know alot people who have gotten the shot, remember nothing is ever 100%. The injection is 99%, just like the pill. Its not dumb, its better to be a fool for 5 minutes than for a lifetime, right? If you need anymore info, asl your doctor. And yes, there is still a possiblity that you could get pregnant.I would still advise you to use the "back-up method" if you plan on having sex, just to be safe.

Most contraception, even the pill, is only 98% effective. I am not familliar with the injection, but I know they are only good for a certain number of months. Is the time near for your next injection? I have not heard of anyone getting pregnant while on it, but for birth control to work, it has to be the right dose for the right woman, and we are all different. Is this your first injection? Did you have any spotting with it, (menstual blood) If you did, that would mean that this level of contraception in this inejection was not strong enough for you. And finally, did you get this contrception injection from a reputatble doctor?
Answer these questions to yourself and maybe you will have a better idea of whether or not you could be pregnant. And then there is always the pregancy kit from the drug store. They are very accurate.
Also, is your period late? HOw late? And, about this I am not sure.....do you even continue to get your period whil on this injection? Also, being on birth control can cause you to gain weight. Are you just feeling "fatter" so you think you may be pregnant?
I hope this helps.

nothing is ever 100%. it is still possible, but incredibly unlikely

It works the same as the pill. No form of birth control is 100%. You still need to have your partner use condoms because no form of birth control protects you from AIDS or STD's. :)

there is always a risk of the form of birth control you're using not working, but the best way to insure that you won't get pregnant is to use a condom, i'm not going to say don't have sex because most people who say that are hipocrytes, just make sure that along with the shot you use a condom to, that way you're sure that you're totally safe

No form of birth control is 100% effective unless you count abstinance, but don't worry I'm not going to push abstinance on you. In your case, it may be good, because you seem to be too young, but I wont' push it on you, I'll just try to help you find out the information that you need to get. I believe that if your too young to make sure you doctor tells you all of these things, then your too young to have sex. anyway...
You need to talk to your doctor about ANY medication you are put on. I recently stopped taking the shot. I was taking Depo-Provera for a while. I researched it more and more as time went by and found things that I didn't like about it. Finally, I got a new doctor, and told him about my worries with it, and he told me that he does not like the shot and won't give it to most patients.
See, it leads to bone degeneration in patients. Have you ever noticed how the spot where they give the shot is always sore and bruised for a while afterwards? Even up to a couple of days afterwards? This is the first sign that it's not a good thing.
Anyway, If you are too embarrassed to ask your doctor these things, then you may be too young to be using these sort of medications. I would suggest writing down any question you have about your form of contraception, and then calling your doctor up and forcing him/her to answer each question on your list.
