So, i'm completely confused roughly speaking the birth control shot!?
some websites utter within 24 hours it starts to work right away.
while others say a week, or even 14 days.
can someone please dispense me the REAL answer??
Answers: It depends on what time you start it.
If you start the first day of your period, in 24 hours, you are protected. If you start at a kinda random time of the month, you should wait one full month to enjoy unprotected sex..
I don't remember, but that shot is evil. It makes 1 out of 10 women have period all the time and makes conceiving tremendously difficult. When I took it I'm pretty sure it was 14 days. I don't recommend it at all. The side effects are dismal and it can cause permanent sabotage to your reproductive system. I had a period for 3 months straight and so did several other populace I know. You need to use another form of protection (condom) for a week. I had a HORRIBLE time on it. Would cry at the drop of a head covering, become so frustrated with the smallest things treat my husband alike crap. I think if I have to put up with it any longer I would have admit myself to the local mental hospital..
The real answer would need to be given by a doctor depends on the brand and strand.
