A member asked:

Had a miscommunication issue and ended up receiving 1st depo-provera provera (medroxyprogesterone) shot on day 17 of my cycle, is it effective contraceptive or not immediately?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No not effective yet: It should be within 5 days. Taking Depo so late might actually enhance a pregnacy( if you are post-ovulatory).I would use back up for 1st 30 days.
