Hello,
A woman can get pregnant anytime after she has stopped depo.Any unprotected sex can result in pregnancy. You are off depo now and not on any birth control so there are chances that you could get pregnant. All you can do is wait for your periods. If your periods are late take up pregnancy test. Do consult a doctor for more doubts and clinical examination.
Best luck and regards!
