Extremely unlikely: DepoProvera provides highly effective (>99%) contraception as long as you get shots on time (every 11-13 weeks). The fact that you received your injection same day you delivered makes it extremely unlikely that you could get pregnant within next three months. Take Care!

Doubtful: the Depo-Provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) should protect you.
