DepoProvera: DepoProvera is an effective form of birth control. When starting a new birth control treatment, we usually recommend using an additional form of contraception for the first month. However, it was almost 2 months since the shot, so the likelihood of pregnancy is low. Not all women menstruate while on the Depo shot, so she may want to take a pregnancy test in the next month.
