A member asked:
What do you advise if i had my 2nd depo-provera injection two days before it was due, will it be effective immediately?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depo-provera: If you got the shot on or before the due date, then you remain protected against pregnancy. There is no lapse in effectiveness since you took it as prescribed.
