Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Depo provera injection is known to have sid e effects like irregular or no bleeding at all. If the urine pregnancy test is negative, then chances of of pregnancy are not there.
If you have not taken a repeat shot of depo, then the periods will normalize in next 2-3 months.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
