How Long Does It Take For Depo-Provera Shot To Take Effect?
I recieved my first depo provera shot on November 15th. I was not on my period, however my doctor did give me a pregnancy test (it was negative). She told me to wait a month before having unprotected sex with my husband, but every where I am reading says a week. Is she being overly cautious, or does it really take a month to go into effect?
