Hi, I think periods can get delayed due to depo shot also. Also of there was no contact of precum or ejaculate directly with the vagina, you can't get pregnant. So, don't worry about it. If you are not sure of that, do a urine pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy first. If negative, you can wait for your periods. You will get periods few days after 3 months of last injection. Hope it helps.
