On Depo, Unprotective Sex. Pregnancy?

I am on depo, have have been getting my shots regularly for about a year. Tomorrow is my deadline for my shot, but two days ago I had unprotective sex & he ya know, in me. I have my depo appt planned for tomorrow, but I don't know if I should go or not. Is there any chance that I could be pregnant, because I waited to late to get my depo..? I bled heavy the day after and now just a little spotting. Please help

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

With depo shot, chance of pregnancy is negligible (less than 0.5%). Though, you can confirm it in the next cycle if your period is missed.

You can continue to take depo shot as per schedule. Bleeding following sex may be due to blunt trauma. It is nothing significant on the day after sex.

Maintain genital hygiene. Good luck.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. S Patra
