I never had a period unless it was close for me to get my next shot. Then I would spot, a little. It only takes 24 hours to be fully effective and lasts about 3 months. Good choice. If I had to be on birth control again, I would pick this. Check out this website too. http://www.fwhc.org/birth-control/bcdepo.htm But just as an FYI, when I went off the shot, I was under the impression that it takes a year to get pregnant if you are trying to concieve. I got pregnant 4 months after my last shot wore off....... I used to take depo (i had a hysterectomy) and I LOVED it! I never had a period unless it was close for me to get my next shot.

I got pregnant. maybe that's why go for the 1-2 months. **everything I am reading is saying if taken within 7 days of your period it's effective within 24 hours of the shot. Maybe your pharmacist thought you asked 'how long is it effective?' That means you shouldn't have to use backup. and as usual and as suspected I'm one of that 1.2% that got pregnant.
