Birth control

2018-01-07 06:34:09
I got depo just under a month ago and I am not yet due for my second shot, not until the 18th and it is the seventh right now. My boyfriend and I are planning to have sex soon and I want to know if it’s possible to get pregnant after just one shot, even if you’re not yet due for your second one, I also plan on getting my 2nd one on time. I’ve had a period, two of them, each one lasting over two weeks. Will any of this effect how my birth control is working?
