Until when is the depo shot effective?

Question

I got my first round of depo shot on December 21. Im not planning on getting the second because I had bad experiences with it. Until when would it be effective?

Answer

The shot typically lasts 3 months or so, but it should start fully wearing off as soon as you miss your next dose. For me it took a few months. I also only had one shot and stopped it due to bad experiences. Personally, I bled for about 2 months coming off of it, and had to take a birth control pill for a week to make it stop.

Answer

they should’ve gave you a date when to come back so it won’t work after then? i got mine like in January. the 3rd or something i thing? and i have to go back march 14-28 so

Answer

Hypothetically it would become ineffective as soon as you miss your next dose.
