Hi
On Sat 28 Nov at around 3pm, I had the Depo Provera injection (my last period was on 17 Nov). On Sat 5 Dec, I had unprotected sex at around 5pm. My partner is a bit worried that I may not be covered by the injection as it was just a couple of hours past the 7 days you're supposed to avoid unprotected sex. Can I just ask am I covered or should I have the emergency pill just in case?
Thanks.
Steph
