Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
Depo shot provides 99% safety against pregnancy. So you need not worry.
However to my patients I also suggest them to do a urine pregnancy test with pregnancy kit available at pharmacy after 25-30 days in such cases.
Absent period and break through bleeding are common side effects of depo shot.
I hope your query has been answered. I shall be available for your further queries.
Regards
