Hi,

Yes, there is a possibility that you get pregnant as you were having unprotected sex on the day of your ovulation. You should wait as pregnancy test can not detect pregnancy until after the date of the missed period. If your period did not come until 21st of July you should get a pregnancy test done. And no Depo will not prevent you from getting pregnant.

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

Regards,
Dr. Salah Saad Shoman
