Hi,
I think that these are typical symptoms which occur after stopping Depo, also chances of pregnancy are there but very little. If your periods don't come by 2 weeks and your urine pregnancy test is negative after 2 week start medroxyprogesterone tablet for 5 days and after your periods are normal try for conceiving. Also, a thyroid profile test is required to be done.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
