Hi and thank you so much for this query. I a so sorry to hear about this troubling thought of possible pregnancy going through your mind right now.

Deprovera, like every other contraceptive is not 100% effective at preventing pregnancy. Having unprotected sex on the same day after receiving this drug when it has not had the chance to start working effectively further reduces the chances of it doing a great job. Considering all of this and the above symptoms, I will suggest that you stay at least 2weeks fro the day of last intercourse and get a pregnancy test done. This will tell whether you are pregnant or not.

Please, Depo may prevent against pregnancy but not diseases, always consider to use a protection during intercourse to avoid contracting STDs.

I hope this answers your query fully. Please feel free to return with more questions if need be.I wish you good health.
