The Depo Provera injection is effective 24 hours after you receive your injection. It is effective for up to 13 weeks. The Depo injection is 99.9% effective, so it is very unlikely that you would become pregnant. Your protection is effective even if you are having spotting or bleeding.
In order to maintain the effectiveness of the DepoProvera, it is important to receive your injections on time. If you forget when your shot is due, call your doctor or clinic to find out.
