I got on depo transitioning from birth control pills. i was told by provider i would be protected immediately since it was the 7th day from my last period and i was on the pill. should i be protected ?

Yes, you should be protected. By Mayo clinic website: "to ensure you're not pregnant when you're injected with Depo-Provera, your health care provider will likely give you your first injection within seven days of the start of your period". Take care.
