How long does it take the depo shot to work after giving birth. my child was born match 7 and the depo shot was given april 21st?

"Depo shots" should work as well as expected , but will not work if ovulation has occurred in the 7-8 weeks following delivery along with "unprotected sex". If such is the case, obtaining a serum HCG level is the most accurate for detecting early pregnancy.
