Hello.
Being late for the Depo shot anytime over two weeks means there could be a contraceptive failure. Couple that with irregular periods, unprotected sex and now the symptoms, means a pregnancy is a possibility.

Please do a home pregnancy test soon, or visit your doctor for an ultrasound to confirm.
Hope this helps. Take care.
