Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Usually it takes 72 to 96 hours for depo injection to start its effect as contraceptive measure. As you are going to meet your spouse after 7 days, you need not use any other contraceptive method.
I hope this answer helps you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks,
Dr. Purushottam Neurgaonkar
