How Long Does A Depo Shot Protect Against Unwanted Pregnancy?

Hello, I am currently on depo shot. I always get my shot around the first day or two that I am told to get the follow up shot. My last shot was ob February 2nd and I was told to call for another appointment on April 26th which I did today. The earliest appointment I was able to schedule isn t until Monday, May 1st. Will I still be covered if I were to have sex with my boyfriend before my appointment?
