Hi,
I understand your concern.
Usually after withdrawal of depot shot, fertility returns by 6-10 months , to normal.
So the chances of pregnancy are are very less-,The pregnancy like symptoms can also be due to withdrawal of the drug causing hormonal imbalance .
You should go for home pregnancy test after 8 days of scanty periods to exclude pregnancy.And plan for pregnancy after confirming ovulation.( LH surge test )
Thanks.
