I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. If you get the birth control shot (also known as depo-provera) within the first 7 days after the start of your period, you're protected from pregnancy immediately. Otherwise, you need to use some form of backup birth control ? like a condom ? whenever you have sex during the first week after getting the shot. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
