this is not true. I have been taking depo for about 4 years for medical reasons. You can get pregnant up to 2 years after starting depo. The body needs time to regulate your system while on the drug. My advice is if you are in a long term relationship or are with someone who you kno doesnt have std's then wait to have unprotected sex so that you know for sure your system has been regulated.

Answer

You are protected right after you are given the shot, there is no waiting period needed before having sex.

Answer

Actually, you have to wait 24 hours. That's when the shot is effective.

Answer

On the Panphlet i got given from the New Zealand family planning center it says that if you are giving the Depo Provera withen the first three days of your period then you have to wait 3 days. If you are given it just after then you have to wait a week. THIS IS ONLY FOR YOUR FIRST INJECTION NOT REPEAT ONES. If its a repeat injection then you do not have to wait.
