Hello,
You did not mention when you had your last period and if you have been getting them regularly. Since you are on your depo shot now, you are protected. The medication takes one week to be effective if given after first five days of the cycle, and if given in the first five days of the cycle, has immediate effect. You can get a urine pregnancy test done and visit a gynecologist for further suggestions. Take care.
