I got my depo provera (medroxyprogesterone) shot yesterday and i believe it went sq instead of im. am i still protected if it did not go im?

No data: to support that it is still as beneficial as the IM injection. There is a subcutaneous version available, but the commonly used 3 monthly injection is the IM kind. Ob what basis do you think it was given SC instead of IM, perhaps, this is something that you should clarify with the provider and not second guess.
