Please call the gyn: Who gave you the Depo-Provera shot, now or go to the er, you need an exam , cultures, blood work and an ultrasound, i assume you got the Depo-Provera shot while you were on your period, that is when the first shot is supposed to be given or if u didn't i assume a blood preg test was checked first.
