If you'd like to switch from Depo Provera to the Birth Control pill, you can start the pill anytime after the 10th week of Depo Provera, up until the last day Depo was due, with no interruption in pregnancy protection. There is no need to wait until the first period after Depo Provera; doing so puts you at risk of pregnancy. If you start later than 15 weeks after the last shot, you should use a backup method of birth control, like condoms or abstinence from vaginal sex, until you've taken seven pills correctly.

You will experience break through bleeding usually 7-9 days (sometimes longer) after you stop taking birth control pill. Your period can arrive anytime during the next 3 months till the cycle becomes regular due to birth control remaining in your system for 3 months.

For continuous protection, you should start the birth control pill on or before the next Depo Provera shot is due. If you start after that, you should use a backup method until you've taken the pill correctly for seven days in a row.

You can get the first Depo Provera shot when you are on the birth control. It will become effective immediately, and you'll be able to stop the birth control pill at that time.

You can change to a different hormonal method as soon as 10 weeks after the last shot. You can have the copper IUD (Paragard) inserted at any time.
