Pregnant?

Question

Started depo shot 7 days after period ended had unprotected sex 2 days after can I get pregnant? doctor never said about waiting or being protected for a while. 😩

Answer

It can take time for it to become effective. If you happened to have ovulated in those 2 days after the shot, you could have gotten pregnant.
My mother got pregnant with me while on the shot and didn’t find out until 16 weeks.
Always use condoms if you don’t want to risk pregnancy, even if you’re on a form of birth control. Doubling up on protection decreases the chance of an accidental pregnancy should one method fail - the condom or barrier method should be #1 defense with the birth control being the backup.

Answer

It can take up for 7 days for depo shot to be over 99% effective
