Can you get pregnant while taking Lupron?

It's far from impossible - make sure you use a barrier method of birth control during Lupron therapy, as all GnRH drugs are category X (meaning they hold high risks of causing permanent damage to the fetus).\n\nYour doctor probably prescribed the BCPs not for contraception, but as addback therapy.  Addback is very important to take with Lupron in order to minimize some of the more common side effects, including bone density loss.  You should talk to him about his reason and make sure you don't need the pills.\n\nIf this is your second time on Lupron (meaning you've already undergone a 6 mon. course of the 3.75 mg dosage or a 3 mon. course of 11.25 mg), then you *must* take the addback.  The FDA has only approved re-treatment with Lupron provided addback is given.  Any other administration is considered off-label and thereby not the accepted standard of care.\n\nPS:  regarding the above comment re: tubal ligations...evidence-based data shows that an average of 1 out of 100 women become pregnant each year after tubal ligations (having their "tubes tied").  About 1 out of 3 of those subsequent pregnancies are ectopic, which can be potentially life-threatening and require emergency surgery to treat. Tubal ligations are not 100% effective.  While the risks of pregnancy are low, if you're that one woman who gets pregnant, possibly with an ectopic, statistics don't matter.  But it should be known that even "sterilization" is not 100% effective against pregnancy (unless the surgery also involves removing the uterus).

It can. Even before you ejaculate, sperm are traveling up the tube and some will get mixed in with the precum (which works as a lubricant.) If you are unlucky enough, it could cause pregnancy.

There's no such thing as 100 percent effective birth control, so it is possible to become pregnant while on the pill.  Many times, however, women get pregnant while using the pill when they accidentally forget to take a pill, or if they're taking certain antibiotics.  Antibiotics decrease the effectiveness of the pill, so if you ever take antibiotics, you should use another form of birth control.

When I was on the pill, I had missed quite a few myself, and I had to take double doses, and I never got pregnant.  I'm sure it is possible, but in my opinion, it is highly unlikely.  Everyone forgets to take it on time all the time.  I believe you are still protected, but don't forget, even on the pill, you are never 100% protected.  The only way to totally be protected is to abstain from sex altogether.  Good luck.

Yes you can get pregnat. Even one time having unprotected sex you can get pregnant. As they say, it only takes one time. Even  if you are on birth control, there is still a small chance one could get pregnant. It  has been known to happen. Best thing to prevent is to use a condom.

I have taken provera many times, since I have PCOS as well.  I also went on clomid to get pregnant and was successful.  I now have a beautiful 10 month old baby boy.  When I wanted to get pregnant, my OB placed me on Provera to get my cycle and on the 3rd day of the cycle I started clomid.  After I finished clomid for five days, then I had to take estrogen pills (I guess to enhance ovulation).  I was told by a previous OB that I would never have children due to my PCOS and not getting my period.  It is okay to take Provera monthly if you are trying to conceive.  It will not due damage to your body.   Keep trying the regime that your OB prescribe.  Remember it can take several tries before you get pregnant, so I would hold off on seeing a specialist.  Give your self a chance.  Even women who get their cycles on a "normal" schedule can take then a year to conceive.

If you are going to use this method for birth control, prepare for another pregnancy. It does not work, at least not very well. You need to use some form of birth control, either condoms, or the pill. You are MOST fertile, halfway through your cycle, day14, 15 , and 16........but you can STILL get pregnant other days, even while on your period, if you have sex.

well the chances are higher during ovulation but really there is a chance of getting pregnant at ANY time.  Although the statistics say that a woman only has a 20% chance of getting pregnant each month accidents happen all the time and seems like the percentage is a little higher.  SO if you dont want to get pregnant protect yourself at all times :)

Those anti-depressants can really affect libido and ability to achieve orgasm.  Your doctor may be able to add a small dose of wellbutrin to help that side effect.  I don't think it will necessarily affect your chance of getting pregnant though.

no way.  Even if you were to miss the whole day, just take 2 the next.  It if you miss 2 or more days when you could get pregnant.  I take mine at all different hours, but I talked to my Dr about it and he said don't sweat it.

actually, to woidaj, depo-provera and depo-lupron are two different things: one is used exclusively to stop your period for coming, often good for sufferers of endometriosis, and depo-provera is a form of birth control, a shot that protects women from pregnancy for 3 months, for some women it protects them a little while after their shot is due, and after a few injections of it, it stops your period for most women, but not all (80 percent stop menstruating after their third shot). But to answer the asker's question, you should wait another month, b/c depo-lupron's effects may last 3 months after last insert. Also, if you are really concerned, you could also ask your doctor to give you this prescription called Provera, it's a pill that makes your period come, and if it does not come when taking Provera as prescribed, then it'll show something is not right.

No you can not get pregnant from a guy ejaculating on your stomach. Yes you can still get pregnant from having sex with a condom on. Condoms are between 92%-98% reliable. The best way to not get pregnant is to not have sex. My GF and I use a condom and birthcontrol everytime, we're not ready for a child so we take as little risk as possible but still  have the pleasure of sex.

I was diagnosed in Dec. 2001, did chemo and radiation and I am now on tamoxifen and Depo Lupron shots every 3 months. Not sure about Zolodex, but Lupron shuts off your ovaries (I'm assuming Zolodex is similar?)and of course without ovulation you cannot become pregnant. This is assuming the medication is working properly. If you're wondering about your chances of conceiving after your hormone treatment, I was told that I'll have to wait and see what happens when my hormones return. Everyone's body is different and a lot depends on your reproductive health before all this began. Best of luck to you!

1.) Yes, you can get pregnant after coming off the pill. For some women it takes a while for their cycle to return to normal. For some it only takes a few weeks or a month. Talk with your gynecologist to decide what pill will be best for you. \n2.) Remember when starting a new pill side effects can last anywhere from a week to three months so give it a fair go. It is better to just stay on it straight through versus going on and off. Going on and off can seriously whack your body/cycle and emotions out because your body will be constantly having a change in the hormones. And your periods would be all over the place.\n3.) Every pill will affect different people differently. That's why I say check with your doctor. I DON'T recommend the shot(Depo Provera) because some of the more common side effects are constant spotting and weight gain. Also it can take months or even a year after you go off it to have a regular cycle back. You may want to try a low-dose pill because of previous emotional side effects. Something like Ortho TriCyclen Lo or that new Nuvaring(you only have to remember that once a month!).\n\nGood luck.

Not likely but possible.  If you are trying to avoid pregnancy, use birth control every time to be sure.

actually you can get pregnant if you are on birth control but most of the time you body will reject the baby because you don't have the nutrients or proper functions to carry the baby because birth control shuts down most of the maternal functions in your body.  i had a miscariage with my first child because my body wasn't strong enough and i was on birth control.
