A member asked:

I stopped the depo-provera shot and started the lolo birthcontrol pill on the exact same day that my depo-provera shot was due. do i need to use extra protection?

Condoms: I would suggest condoms plus pills for the first month. If sexually active with multiple partners always use condoms.
