HI,
Welcome to HCM,
I read your query and i appreciate your concern regarding this issue.

As you are on DEPO shots so failure rate is of less than 1% when it is used correctly and consistently. You should take a pregnancy test if you are experiencing any pregnancy symptoms.The symptoms which you mentioned can be of pregnancy then i would advise you to go for urine pregnancy test or serum Beta Hcg test if you are overdue with your periods.

Hope so it will be helpful.
You can write again in case of any query or follow up.
Wish you good health.
Regards
