I appreciate your concern and understand....however, my question was what the possibility was that i could of became pregnant again even with taking the depo shot. I am with one partner and have been for over 2 years...due to antibiotics that interfered with my birth control pills is how i became pregnant accidently. With having 2 children already and the surprise of it all...abortion was my best choice.....Thank you
