As long as you have been using your birth control method correctly and consistently, then pregnancy is very unlikely.

The Depo shot is effective within 24 hours after receiving the shot, and lasts for up to 13 weeks. The birth control pills, patch, ring are effective after 7 days of continuous use. If you are taking these methods correctly, you are covered during your period, just be sure to begin a new pack/ring/patch on time.
