A member asked:
I received my last depo shot a week late. how long will it take for it to become effective again?

7 days: You must abstain from sex or use barrier protection like condoms for one week after a late depo shot to make sure you do not get pregnant. You should get depo every 11-12 weeks for ongoing pregnancy protection without having to wait like you are now.
