A member asked:
Is 37 days long enough for depo shot to be completely effective after first shot? it was given off period and after having a child march 7th?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I usually advise back up contraception/abstinence for 7 days after depo provera. If the first shot was given off cycle and you and your partner had unprotected sex within 5 days before the shot, a pregnancy test should be checked 2-3 weeks after that
