A member asked:
I just have been put on depo.it doesnt start working until 14 days later and i got mine on day one of my period so will i be protected after im off?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Protection is likely: If you got an injection of a good unexpired vial of 150 mg of DepoProvera on "day one of your menstrual cycle", the odds are very good that your ovulation will be blocked (therefore pregnancy will be very likely to be prevented) and that you are most probably "protected".
