A member asked:

Can i do the depo-provera shot and take the pill?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Yes you could. .. This is sometimes done when there is a lot of excess bleeding from depo. As for birth control alone you do not need to... And likely should not do both methods extra protection. There are other things you could take or use if you are looking for more coverage.
