A member asked:

I got my first depo-provera shot 2 weeks ago but a week later i had unprotected sex 8 or more times. can i still get pregnant? include background information that will enable doctors to answer your question.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If : If you waited 7 days until after your first shot to have unprotected sex, then you have a less than 1% of pregnancy. If you got the shot within the first 7 days of starting your period, you are protected against pregnancy immediately. If not, then you should use a back-up method of birth control such as a condom for the first 7 days after the shot - after that, you're good to go. Below i've attached more information about the Depo-Provera shot that might answer any additional questions you may have. Good luck!
