I used the QuickStart method with the pill and my period was in about 12 days. After my first pill, I started bleeding and after 10 days of bleeding I decided to get the Depo injection. I will be seeing my boyfriend in 12 days. Should I worry about getting pregnant? Can I use an emergency contraceptive just to make doubly sure this does not happen?
Good morning!
| Did you continue taking the pills each day until the day of your Depo injection? If that is the case, you have been protected all along and are protected now. |
 Her email reply on 1-12: “Yes, I took my pill at 9:00 PM every night and not even 24 hours after my last pill, I received my first Depo shot.  Â
Thank you so much for the quick response! I tried many other sites and this is the first reply I received. This is definitely the place to get the right answers!â€Â
