Q: how long does it take for the depo shot to kick in after having your first baby 6 weeks prior to receiving the shot. bleeding occurred one week after receiving shot. can pregnancy still happen if ejaculated in?

: "Depo shots" are progestin, and provide contraception as soon as injected, however there is still a small chance of pregnancy. If bleeding occurred, it was possibly a menstrual event. The chance of pregnancy is less than 4%.
