Hi and welcome to HCM forum. Your question seems a bit confused to me. How long ago did you have the injection Depo-Provera? It protects you from pregnancy only for 3 months after which you need to take the next shot and so on every 3 months. In case yu are doubtful, better get an ultrasound scan to assess if you ARE pregnant, if NOT, take your 3-month injections regularly. Since your family is complete you may also opt for a Tubectomy, the permanent method of contraception. I hope this solves your dilemma.
