A member asked:

Could i get pregnant if i had unprotected sex a day after my first birth control shot?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: If you got your first shot within the first 5 days of the start of your period, you should be protected from pregnancy. Don't forget to consider whether you also may have a risk of stds and need to use condoms to lower your risk of stds.
