Taken Depo Shot. No Period. Negative Pregnancy Test. Could I Be Pregnant?

Hi, I was on birth control pill for a few months. I was taken off that for two weeks due to an injury that caused worries about blood clots. They switched me to the depo shot two weeks after I had been off the birth control. I started a period the week before I got the shot, and have been sexually active. I have yet to have a period since the switch. I have not been feeling good either due to stress, a bug, or I am concerned I am pregnant. Is there a high likelihood that I could be pregnant? I took one test 3 days ago, it was negative. I am just concerned.

Hello
Thanks for your query.
There is a low probability of pregnancy as you are on the Depo.
The symptoms could be due to the stress as you rightly guessed.
If you DO miss a period, take a pregnancy test.
All the best.
