The DepoProvera intramuscular injection (the one that is injected into the muscle of either the arm or buttock) is effective for up to 13 weeks. The DepoSubqProvera injection is the injection that is given into the subcutaneous fat of the abdomen. The Subq injection is effective for up to 14 weeks. If you miss your shot, there is that possibility that ovulation could occur and pregnancy could result. Although many women do not ovulate right away, it is best to assume that you are no longer protected. Either use condoms or abstain from intercourse until you receive your next injection.
If you are concerned about pregnancy, do a pregnancy test.
