Q: i get my depo provera shot every 10 weeks this time i got it 10 weeks and 4 days am i still protected immediately?

: Generally each Depo shot is considered effective for 12 weeks and sometimes the effect can last considerably longer. Your schedule is very conservative and the small delay is not significant.
