Brief Answer:
Pregnancy not likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Birth control depo shot provides protection against pregnancy for 3 months. The delay in periods that you have is not likely to be due to pregnancy.
This delay of periods is a common side effect of the depo shot. You can do a urine test to confirm or rule out the pregnancy.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
