Hi, thanks for using HCM..
I understand your concern.. Depo inj is progesterone inj used in contraception. The failure chance with depo inj is 0.3%. Its efficacy lasts for 12weeks. Take the inj in that week for preventing pregnancy.. If u r in doubt rpt pregnancy test with early morning urine sample..Get a hcg blood test for confirmation. Values greater than 10 is confirmatory. Hope i have answered your queries.. good day.
