hello,
i can understand your concern.
nur-isterate is a depot shot of progestogen used as a hormonal contraceptive.
i would assume this was not your first shot of nur-isterate as the first dose is usually given during the first five days of the cycle. but if this was your first dose this wouldn't give protection.
if this was the dose given at the interval of 8 weeks or the 12 weeks depending on the number of the dose after the previous dose you need not worry about pregnancy. a delay in two days wouldnt reduce the efficacy. if its beyond a week then definitely it would be inadequate for protection.
kindly take the next dose as per the schedule.
hope i have answered your concern.
feel free to ask further queries.
thanks for choosing HCM
