A member asked:

Looking to switch from depo to skyla, i no longer get a period on depo, how soon would the skyla be effective?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depoprovera to Skyla: If you are on depo-provera, and not yet due for a shot, you can get Skyla and have continuous birth control without any concern. If you are due for a shot within the next week, you may need to use additional contraception for up to a week. See the site for Skyla for more details.
