I am going to get my second depo shot at
the end of this month, do I need to stop
having sex before my next shot.. like a
week before or something? Or is it
effective right up until my next shot???

As long as you keep getting the shot on
time, you can always have sex. It is
effective the whole time you are on it.
If you are ever late getting your next
shot, that is when you might want to use a
backup method.

I was told by my Dr that i am fully
protected from shot to shot as long as I
get it on time. Although just as a
precaution (which i don't know if it
really matters)... is that my dr gives me
a little card with about a 2 week time
span colored in - in which i need to get
my next one. I always go in as soon as I
can to get my next one - I never wait
until the last minute. Just a thought.

That's a very smart idea. Procrastinating
with your birth control is a formula for
disaster!
