A member asked:
Can you tell me when does the depo-provera injection start working?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Within about 1 month: After initiation of the Depo-Provera shot, i would normally tell a patient to use some form of back up contraception (condoms) for the first month. After that point, they can assume that they are 95% protected from pregnancy.
