A member asked:
Does the bc shot work right away when you get it 5 days after the start of your period??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
7 days, not 5 days. The failure rate of BC shot is 6% in real life, i.e. out of 100 people have the shot, 6 still get pregnant. When used perfectly, the birth control shot effectiveness is more than 99%, meaning less than 1 out of every 100 people who use it will get pregnant each year.
