Possible: To provide maximum protection, Depo shot must be given within 7 days of onset of last period. Other methods should be used for first month if administered outside this window. Chances of pregnancy unprotected are 10-25%. Check pregnancy test 3 weeks after unprotected intercourse. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
