Yes. Possible.: To be very safe take emergency contraception (ec) now. See eclocator.Not-2-late.Com/ for info and nearby pharmacies. No prescription needed if 17 or older. Best 0-72 hrs after sex but may work up to 120 hrs (5days). Ec is not an abortion. Depo is scheduled every 11-13 weeks. July 16-oct 8 is 12 weeks so you are still likely protected. Chances of ovulation are less if this was not your first shot.
