Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
The very fact that you have taken injection after due date puts you at risk for becoming pregnant, especially when you have unprotected intercourse during this time.
It is advisable to take morning after pill in such circumstances to be in the safer side.
Also, it is suggested to use other methods of contraception like condoms and spermicidal agents until 3 weeks after the injection during such circumstances as you will be at risk for becoming pregnant.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
Regards,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.,
