Can I take BCP at the same time as having a Depo shot?
From the Depo Provera website: “It’s important to get your injections on time. Get your next dose every 11 to 13 weeks to make sure you stay protected. You and your healthcare provider can make a schedule for your shots. If you do miss a shot or more than 13 weeks go by, you’ll need to protect yourself with an alternative birth control method. Use condoms, spermicides, diaphragms, or even abstinence—until after you get your next shot. As soon as you get a shot, you’ll be protected again. Your healthcare provider should determine if you are pregnant before giving you your next dose. ” Sources: http://www.depoprovera.com/vc-user.
