It : It can be normal to have irregular periods for the first few months after you stop the Depo-Provera shot. However, if you have had unprotected sex, pregnancy is a possibility, too. You can either take a home pregnancy test as long as it has been 5- 6 weeks since your last normal period, or you can go see your doctor and they can test you. A home pregnancy test is 97% accurate if taken a week or more after the missed period. A blood test can tell if you are pregnant as soon as 7 days after conception and a doctor's urine pregnancy test can tell if you are pregnant around when you next period should come.
