Is Pregnancy Possible Despite Being On Petogen?

Hi, I got injected with petogen once and never returned for my second shot, after four months of my shot I started my periods again. During my fertile day I had unprotected sex and now I suspect I am pregnant, how possible is that considering the fact that petogen is said last long in the system?

as i know petogen is the same with depo provera so Depo-Provera is a reversible prescription birth control method. Each Depo Provera shot slowly releases a synthetic form of progesterone medroxyprogesterone acetate that can protect against pregnancy for a period of 11 - 14 weeks. This method prevents ovulation, so there is no egg available for a sperm to fertilize. It also works by thickening cervical mucus which makes it harder for sperm to swim Additionally, the progestin in Depo Provera can thin out or prevent the uterine tissue that builds each month. This makes it difficult for a fertilized egg to implant into the uterine wall since there is not enough lining there to receive it.
In order to have pregnancy protection for a full year, it is important to schedule your Depo Provera or Depo-subQ Provera 104 petogen shots approximately every 12 weeks. Over the course of a year, you should receive 4 shots.
if you past three month and you dont took the next shot pregnency is posible
