See your doctor.: You will need to see a physician for this. Your primary care physician or your gynecologist would need to verify you are not pregnant and would discuss the shot with you.

Go to a gynecologist: They can discuss this with you, give your the advantages and disadvantages, side effects, adverse effects, so you are well informed.
