Depo shots are given every 3 months. If you have been consistent and have not missed any, you are protected. Many women report a lack of periods during the use of Depo shots for contraception. Northisterone contains similar hormones to that found in Depo, but is not used for contraception (does not protect). Talk to the Dr who gave you the Depo shot and discuss further treatment.
