A member asked:

If i been on depo-provera 4 years will the shot be in my system 120 days from the day i get my shot?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, but...: The medication level may not be high enough to prevent pregnancy by then. The medication gradually goes away if another shot is not taken. It will take several months longer to be completely gone from the body.
