Specializes in Pediatric Emergency Medicine

Depo: You may not have cycles with depo. Birth control usually occurs immediately if given within the first 5 days of your cycle. You need to receive it every 12 weeks. You need to do a pregnancy test based on your information. All the best. It does not protect you from an STI.
