Depo-provera after an abortion, then sex...

On february 6th I started a medicated abortion at planned parenthood. Then a week later I went for my follow up appointment on february 14th. Everything was fine, and they injected me with my choice of birth control, depo provera, that day. Well of course it was Valentines day, and the physician said it was okay to have sex again. I wasn't intending on it but me and my boyfriend ended up having sex that day without a condom, and he accidently came inside of me... Embarassed

I feel so stupid because my physcian didn't tell me how long it would take for the depo provera to take effect, and I forgot to ask because of my nervousness. My question is that if it was possible I was ovulating and that I could get pregnant again? Confused

If you start DEPO within 7-10 days of an abortion, it is effective immediately.

You would most likely have NOT ovulated that soon after after an abortion.
