It is effective immediately :)

Are you seriouse I heard that it takes about 3 weeks to 1 month

The shot is effective within 24 hours of injection :)

Thanks for your help

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!

I am a nurse too ;)
i work in womens clinics

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.

Here is the website of the actual company who makes depo, they explain that it is effective quickly :)
Depoprovera.Com/

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

I had unprotected sex with him hmm its been 9 days since the shot but now im paranoid than ever he cummed in side me. :cry: are you sure about it taking effect immediatly plz tell me your sure plzzzzz
