Hi,
The depo shot is an injection given once every 3 months. It’s a safe, convenient, and private birth control method that works really well if you always get it on time.
But as you say you are off it for 3 months, there are chances that you might get pregnant if you are sexually active without protection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
