You think you were late getting your shot? Than yes, there is a chance you could be pregnant. Take a test .

I don't really understand your question. If you're on Depo, then you did not have unprotected sex. Depo is a very effective birth control method. That means it protects you from pregnancy very well all by itself.

If you mean you were late getting your shot, then it's possible you could get pregnant. Anytime you do not take your birth control as intended, you risk getting pregnant. However, it really depends on just how late you were. Depo tends to stay in a woman's system for quite some time. So if you were just a little late getting the shot, there's a good chance that you'll be fine.
