How long do it take depo shot to kick in?

Answer 1

If the injection is given between the first and last day of your menstrual flow, the protection against pregnancy begins immediately. If you miss an injection you will need to use another form of Birth Control until you get your next injection.

Answer 2

• If you get your first Depo shot within the first seven days of menstrual bleeding, no back up method is needed - it's immediately effective.
• If started at any other time in the menstrual cycle, use a back up method for seven days, unless you recently took the prescription morning after pill called ella, in which case you should use a back up method for fourteen days.
• If you're switching from the shot, implant, or another birth control pill, and you're not late in starting the new method, no backup is needed.
• If you're starting within five days of an in-clinic suction abortion, no backup is needed.
• If you're starting within seven days of mifepristone for medication abortion, no backup is needed.
• If you're starting within 21 days of a delivery of a baby, no backup is needed.

As long as it was given within 5 days of your period, It's one of the most affective forms of contraception. It's something like 99.7% effective.
