A member asked:
Can you still get the depo-provera shot while on your period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually: Although it is recommended to get the Depo-Provera shot within a few days of staring a period (at least for the initial one) or within 12 weeks of a previous injection, it should be fine as long as your doctor has totally ruled out the possibility of pregnancy.
