The Shot

Written By Brickhouse Creative

Depo-Provera is a birth control shot that is administered once every three months that contains the hormone progestin. Progestin prevents the ovaries from releasing eggs and thickens the cervical mucus to stop the sperm from getting to the egg.

  • PERFECT USE: 99% effective (when the shot is administered on time)

  • TYPICAL USE: 96% effective

  • FREQUENCY: Every 3 Months

  • Depo-Provera DOES NOT prevent STIs

Where can I get the shot?

  • A provider must prescribe Depo-Provera to you. If you are interested in this option, schedule an appointment with Bridgercare today!
