A member asked:
I will be 12 days into my pill pack when i receive my first depo-provera shot, do i resume taking the pills daily until pack is over? when is depo-provera effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
7 days : After seven days the Depo-Provera (medroxyprogesterone) Provera (medroxyprogesterone) is effective. Thus you can crossover with the two methods for seven days.
