How soon can you have sex when you get your first depo shot birth control?

Ok haven't had period since Aug 31st but I got the depo shot on September 29. It says Im suppose to get the shot 5 days before my first period but I haven't had my period yet. I took pregnancy tests and I'm negative. The physician also said wait a week to have sex. It's been 7 days as of today. Is it ok to have sex or do we have to wait for my period?How soon can you have sex when you get your first depo shot birth control?If the shot has prevented you from getting your period at the time it was expected, then that's a pretty good indicator that the progesterone is doing its job, and will also prevent you from ovulating. Waiting a week is a general guideline to make sure that it's working.

If you wait for your next period to have sex, you might be waiting a lonnnnnng time! Many women on Depo Provera have no period at all (or just occasional, light spotting).

If you're really concerned, you can use condoms as back-up until the end of October (by which time you'd have your next period, if it's going to come). Honestly though, you're probably protected against pregnancy already.How soon can you have sex when you get your first depo shot birth control?you shouldnt have another period. my doctor didnt give me any kind of timeline as to when i could take the depo shot, they just gave it to me the day i asked about it, i was on birth control pills. they told me ok, stop taking the pills as of today, and dont have sex for a week.

i didnt have a period at all after that.
