Dr. Jack and list:
I am aware of a woman in my community that was given a depoprovera
injection (by grave error) in the third trimester of pregnancy. I have
read the material that refers to the effects when given in first
trimester but have not been able to find anything about later in
pregnancy. The physician I work with thinks it should not be of much
consequence other than perhaps some vag bleeding like the psuedo menses
that female infants sometimes have. What do you think?
