Hi.Depo inj. usually causes irregular periods and one inj. gives protection for 3 months (150mg) So, if only 1 month gone you are fully protected after even unprotected intercourse. You may not get any periods during its use or spotting sometimes. This is the side effect of this inj.But to be on the safer side you may get your urine tested once for pregnancy test.
Thanks.
