Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
You can start taking hormonal pill from now, Hormonal effect of depo injection slowly reduces in body, After starting pill, for initial 15 days better to use other methods of contraception like barrier method. After that pill are effective in preventing pregnancy.
Fallow the instructions for taking pills regularly at a fixed time daily.
Hope this helps you.
Regards
