hi this is from a webmd post. depoprovera one of the highest doses of synthetic progesterone that an infant could receive from a birth control method would be from the depoprovera shot. a large group of children (1207 of them) exposed to depo in utero were examined for problems with growth or attainment of puberty. the use of depo during pregnancy did not adversely impact long term growth or sexual development of children. ok good luck
if i get pregnant while on the depo could it cause birth defects to the baby?
