I got a depo shot while still on active pills (birth control) am i protected? if not how long do i wait?

Depends on details: If already getting protection against pregnancy from the birth control pills (such as meaning there hasn't been problems with the current pack of BC pills, and the woman didn't just start using BC pills for the first time a few days ago), then her BC pills are providing protection for a week until the Depo-Provera protection is effective. That would be the simplest way of thinking about it.
