The DepoProvera shot is effective for about 13 weeks. Once the due date for the next shot has passed, consider yourself unprotected. After discontinuing the shot, some women have a period right away, some take several months to have a period. Chances are that you will ovulate before you have a bleed. Therefore, it is possible to get pregnant without having a period.
Consider restarting the shot, or starting another long term method of birth control. Condoms, when used correctly and consistently, can be very effective. If you are interested in having a pregnancy test or restarting the shot, Family Planning clinics offer both. Please call to schedule an appointment.
