A member asked:
Do you have to wait a week for the depo shot to take affect? if we didn't get the shot within the first few days of our period.

No: The demo will kick in when you start it right away. However, if there was a gap of time between the onset of your period, use a condom with sexual intercourse and consider Plan B if there was no Depo during the intercourse interim. You can also get more advice per GYN MD by making a specific referral appt thru health tap specialists.
