The shot is sufficient protection against pregnancy, and emergency contraception is not needed. The shot works by preventing ovulation (the monthly release of an egg) so it doesn’t matter if your partner ejaculates inside of the vagina. If there is no egg for the sperm to unite with, you cannot become pregnant. By itself, the shot is over 99% effective in preventing pregnancy. Unfortunately, no birth control method is 100% effective so there is still a slight risk of pregnancy, but Depo is one of the most effective methods.
