Yes, you should use a back up method if you stopped taking the shot. Essentially, the protection stops the week you are due in for your shot. Now, the chances of you conceiving are still slim but a condom or even the pill is recommended. Depo Provera is said to stay in your system for up to 18 months but will not prevent you from getting pregnant after you stop taking it, no matter how long it is in your system or how long you were taking the shot.
