"Yes you do i was on my period when i got my first shot an I've been on the shot for one year an i not had a period since"
This is incorrect, they advise you to get the shot when your on your period as they need to be sure your not pregnant when you have the shot.
If you've had your menstrual cycle but have not had sex since, they will still allow you to have the shot. Then you'll have to wait a certain amount of time until your protected. (they told me 7 days and this was 4 days after coming off my period) but the length of time may have something to do with where you are in your cycle.
