I have one more question concerning depo. I usually have my blood drawn occasionally to check my glucose levels, So if i get a depo shot, and get my blood drawn a week after getting the shot, will it take any of the depo shot out of my system, or does getting blood drawn affect anything? I know it sounds like a dumb question.

Hi Missy,

I don’t think drawing a little blood for tests is enough to hurt the effective ness of Depo. Depo can affect the results of some tests, so the doc who is having the tests run should be made aware that you are on Depo.

Good luck

The injection goes into a muscle, right?
