How long does it take for the shot to be
99%accutate. Or in other words how long
this it take to take effect and protect
the person from getting pregnant?

The depo shot does take time to get into
your system. It may be stated that it
takes effect immediately, but who honestly
knows? In the meantime, it is adviseable
through medical personnel to use condoms
for up to a month if engaging in sex.
Condoms not only protect from pregnancy,
but as a barrier for unwanted
diseases...Genital warts, hpv, std's
etc............ I'd rather wear a sock
than go barefoot and take the risk of
getting a foot fungus!!!!! My mother is
an rn in labor delivery, my father is a
doctor!

Hmm well I read in an article that you
have to wait 5 days after your period to
get the shot. In another one I read that
it has to be with in 5 days of your
period. Hmm I got the shot on the same
day I started my period so it that ok? I
dont know I for got to ask my doctor.

It states that when given within days of a
period, like all docs do actually, it is
effective immediately :)
