The Depo Provera injection is only to be administered when there is no chance of pregnancy, for instance "during the first 5 days of a normal menstrual period" (according to the Depo Provera Patient Prescribing Information booklet).
Therefore, the injection would have been given during the girl's menstrual period, if administered correctly, and there would not be a chance of pregnancy.
Is this the girl's first-ever Depo Provera injection? If not, the girl may not be having her regular menstrual periods, and as long as she is receiving her injections within the prescribed timeframe, any sexual intercourse she would have had would be protected up to 99% (for pregnancy).
I am not clear why Plan B was taken, given these two circumstances.
Please have the girl (sorry---I am not sure if you are "the girl", or if you are a boyfriend asking about the girl) read the patient information booklet that comes with her prescription, so she understands how to use this prescription. If she no longer has it, she can find it under Patient Prescribing Information at DepoProvera.com.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions, or if you need to clarify the information you provided.
