After you get the depropravara shot, how
long before it is affective? I heard 24hrs
and up to 4 weeks????

As with any horomonal birth control,
they're normally effective after a week.
However, since this is slightly different,
it might be 24 hours. Why didn't your
doctor tell you?

Depo is typically effective after 24
hours, unless something changed rather
recently. I have no idea why your doctor
told you four weeks. You could call and
ask, see if you misunderstood, or if there
is some reason she said that.
I don't know from personal experience,
sorry. Best to phone your doctor. Please
read about the side effects too.

Depo Posted: 06-04-07 18:03pm
I've been on Depo because of Endemetrosis
for over 6+ years. Depo is very effective,
but then again, I had my tubes tied when I
was 25 (childfree, didn't want any), but
anyway, it took almost a couple of years
before bleeding completely stop. I've had
no problems with it, but now have been
advised that I need to do something else
because I've been on it soooooo long.
Anyway, good luck!

Ive been on depo for almost 3 months.. and
I'm about to go get my second shot at the
end of this month...should I stop having
sex like a week before my shot? or is it
still effective up until my next shot??

You should be protected right up until the
next shot. If you're unsure, call your
doctor.

Since you are going back for your 2nd depo
shot, you don't have to stop having sex.
Once you get the depo shot, it's effective
and stays in your system. If I stopped
depo today, it would probably take a while
for it to get out of my system.

okkk thank you for the response, I
probably should have gotten that cleared
up with my doctor.
